Welcome to Ocean Day School! Ocean Day School was founded in the fall of 1982 with the goal and idea of operating as a fully functioning 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

The nonsectarian school then opened its doors to 45 students in Kindergarten through Third Grade in a six room building at Cross River Mill Professional Center in Lakewood. Two administrators taught Kindergarten and First grades and an additional teacher comprised the first faculty. In 1986, Ocean Day School expanded to include Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade and moved to a location on Lake Carasaljo. In 2007, the school moved a second time to its current location. The school's air conditioned facility is conveniently located on Hope Chapel Road on the Jackson/Lakewood border.
