Oneida Baptist Institute:
Oneida Baptist Institute (OBI), located a small rural village in the mountains of Clay County, southeastern Kentucky, is a coeducational Southern Baptist boarding school offering programs to students in grades 6-12. Oneida is a school that accepts students from around the world, and around the country and introduces them to a different way of life, a Christ-centered life. The school provides rules that teach discipline and promote responsibility. Oneida Baptist Institute has private school accreditation through the National Non-Public School Commission, the Kentucky Non-Public School Commission, and the Kentucky Department of Education.
Co-educational Boarding School Program for Middle & High School Students:
Our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students with ability levels ranging from below-average to exceptional. We have a unique Tutoring Lab for students with low reading and/or math skills.
We provide English as a Second Language (ESL) for our international students and advanced placement courses for students with above-average ability.
The school year is divided into four nine-week quarters. Progress reports or report cards are mailed to parents every four and one-half weeks. Boarding students are required to attend a supervised study hall each evening, Monday-Thursday. Students who make honor status are excused from the study hall.
Middle School:
Middle school students study language arts, literature, Bible, history, math, and science. They may also choose an enrichment course which may include computers, guitar, art, agriculture, and drama.
High School:
High school students are required to take four years of English and math; three of science and social studies; one year of health/physical education, Bible, and fine arts; and two quarters of computer literacy. Their electives may include band, choir, piano, welding, small engine repair, child development, commercial arts, yearbook, and weight training.
Summer School Program:
We offer a six-week summer school program in June and July when students can earn academic credit. This is a good opportunity for students to make up credits previously failed or to get extra academic credits to prepare for college prep courses.
