Affordability
As the longest-standing Catholic high school in Southeastern Indiana, Oldenburg Academy provides students in grades 9–12 with exceptional opportunities to grow, lead, and succeed—both in high school and in life. An investment in an Oldenburg Academy education is an investment in your child’s future, cultivating the essential skills, strong values, and sense of purpose that will guide their personal development and open doors to a lifetime of possibilities.
At Oldenburg Academy, we believe every student deserves access to a high-quality education. While we ask each family to invest in their child’s future, we are committed to making our education affordable through a combination of need-based financial aid and academic merit scholarships. Our goal is to ensure that tuition is within reach for all families who value the OA experience.
