About
Our School
Olive Knolls Christian School was founded in 1979 by Olive Knolls Church of the Nazarene to fill a need in our community. OKCS has been established to inspire and equip generations of students who will activate their sense of responsibility, commit to a Christ-called character, seek truth with a passion, maximize their God-given talents, and pursue a life-long vision to transform their world for the glory of God! We are one of two schools in Bakersfield with both ACSI and WASC accreditation.
I covenant to activate my sense of Responsibility, commit to a Christ-Called Character, seek Truth with a passion, maximize my God-Given Talent, and pursue a Life-Long Vision to transform my world for the glory of God!

Welcome to Our School
- Principal Rusty Rhodes
Our life with Christ is to be an adventure filled with joy, love, learning, laughter, and community. That’s what Olive Knolls Christian School offers your child beginning in preschool and all the way through the eighth grade.
​
In today’s cultural decay, you have searched for a safe place for your child’s education, but hunger for more than protection. When your student graduates from middle-school, you want them prepared to face a world hostile to the values with which you raised them.
Will your future teen be able to face today’s world and remain strong and courageous? That’s what we do here.
Olive Knolls Church of the Nazarene established and has served our parents through this school since 1979. The Olive Knolls Church wants to inspire and equip the next generation of truth seekers who discover and maximize their God-given talents to become salt and light in their world! We look forward to having your child join us!
