An Atmosphere For Students To Explore Their Faith
Oldenburg Academy is a Roman Catholic institution, with Franciscan values that permeate all campus activities. Our Franciscan nature is due to our founderesses – the Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg. Oldenburg Academy offers an atmosphere for students to explore their faith response to God, recognizing that faith cannot be imposed.
