Dear Oxford Champions and Parents,
As Chancellor of Oxford Preparatory Academy Middle School (OPA-MS), it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our website, the internet home of the Eagles! I invite you to explore the many links provided, as you will find valuable information and resources that will be of interest and assistance to you and your child.
At OPA-MS, we serve students from sixth through eighth grades and provide a comprehensive education that prepares them for success in the global community of the 21st century. We believe that all students are unique and gifted individuals, and we are committed to working collaboratively with our families to create lifelong learners in a safe and caring educational environment. Our approach is centered on the six competencies of our Champion Profile: critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, civic engagement, and character. We strive to promote these qualities in our students through a combination of standards-based instruction grounded in the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, a multi-tiered system of supports, and engaging elective courses and extra-curricular programs in music, sports, Career Technical Education, world languages, and visual and performing arts. Our students' academic success is demonstrated by their consistently high scores on state assessments and their continued personal and academic success long after they leave us. That success has also earned OPA-MS recognition as a National School to Watch.
We recognize that our success is only possible through close collaboration with our families, and we value the ongoing teamwork between our staff and the Honor Society—our PTO. Our families play a vital role in supporting the diverse needs of our students, and we encourage all OPA-MS parents to join the Honor Society and participate in this meaningful way.
Our school is renowned for its exceptional students, dedicated and highly skilled staff, and a supportive network of families and educational partners. Together, we maintain a rigorous and relevant academic environment while also promoting the traditions and values that make us a unique, welcoming, and intimate campus. We provide our students with a variety of exciting learning experiences, both within and outside the traditional classroom setting. Through our unique and purposeful approaches, OPA-MS students develop the strong foundation necessary for achieving success in high school, college and university academics, and their future careers.
It is a privilege to serve the OPA-MS community, staff, and students as Chancellor. I look forward to meeting and working with you as we continue to provide our students with an exceptional educational experience that is second to none.
Go Eagles!
John Briquelet
Chancellor
Oxford Preparatory Academy Middle School
