Co-ed Boarding School in Kentucky

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.

There are many different reasons young people and their families choose OBI. Some want a Christian education and Christian influence. Others enjoy the independence a boarding school gives in preparation for college. Often they have been struggling academically in public schools.

These students benefit from our Tutoring Lab and our 1:11 teacher/student ratio. Still others may be experiencing social or family problems. Whatever the reason for coming, Oneida's structure and Christian approach provide the setting many young people need to make necessary changes in their lives.

Houseparents are stationed throughout the dorms and in the dorm office where students have access to telephones, microwaves, television, and basic supply needs.

The dorm office is also where students will pick up their mail and packages. There are generally three students to a room, and each floor has state-of-the-art bathrooms. All dorm students have access to full laundry facilities and are responsible for cleaning their dorm room each day.
