Student Life

Here's what the students have to say about life at OBI...

First things first, how's the food?

• The food is surprisingly good and there's a decent variety. It is pretty much stuff kids like. 
• I like that there is a salad bar at most meals. 
• They make super amazing meals for special occasions!

What are sports teams with no try-outs like?   

• I never would have had a chance to be on the team if there had been try-outs.  
• I like that everyone can get the opportunity to learn a sport even if they haven't played it before.
• The coaches care about players, not just about winning.

What are the options for fine arts and other co-curricular activities?

• I like to sing, so I joined the choir. On Sundays, we get to travel to churches all over Kentucky!
• I've learned a lot of new skills and how to express myself in art class. 
• I always wanted to do yearbook at my old school, and I got to do it here.
• Student Council helps with fun activities for the students.
• E-Sports is fun because you're part of a team while you're playing video games.

What are your thoughts on academics?

• The work is easier at OBI. My grades went up a lot.
• You get a lot of one-on-one help from your teachers. 
• Smaller class sizes help me to focus because there are fewer distractions.

What are your thoughts on chapel as part of your school day?

• At first, it was very different for me to go to chapel every day, but now I look forward to it. 
• I like hearing all the different speakers, especially for Testimony Tuesday.
• It's a good break in the day.  
• My family doesn't really go to church, so I like that I can learn about God at school.
• I love Dr. Price!

Anything else you want to share with prospective students? 

• The town of Oneida is super small, but the school has a lot to offer if you want to get involved. 
• With Dollar General right around the corner, it made a nice improvement. 
• I've never met kids from other countries before. The diversity is awesome! 
• The people at OBI are what make it special.
