Orlando Junior Academy (OJA) was established in 1906 to provide quality elementary education in a Christ-centered environment.
In 1925 the school moved from the Florida Hospital campus to its current location. This move provided four classrooms for 1st-8th grades. God's hand is clearly seen through the school's expansion phases. With the last expansion in 2000, OJA now offers 20 classrooms for grades PreK-8th. The campus also includes a Library, Gymnasium, Music Department, iMac Computer Lab, Playground and Cafeteria.
Through community connections, OJA has made continual improvements to better serve our students. Some of the physical improvements include:
On February 18 & 19, 2006 OJA celebrated its 100th Anniversary with an Alumni Homecoming Celebration and by raising $100,000 for Classroom Improvements. To help with the classroom project, OJA partnered with Maranatha Volunteers International who made OJA the site of its Summer Family Project, June 8-18, 2006.
