There is a story that brings each student to our campus. A story of particular needs, choices, or decisions. Each student is unique, but our students bring many common elements in their stories: the need to begin again; a family that wants to eßnsure graduation; a crisis at home; the opportunity to come to another country and study; the need to find a new identity, and write new chapters to a story that is not going well. Students come from good families and from churches taking the place of families. They come from success and failure. They come with Christian faith and with no knowledge of the Christian message at all. They come with common needs and unique faces. They come with the need to be loved, to make friends, to be mentored and to find their talents. They come with gifts that no one could anticipate, with challenges that will test us, and with surprises that will amaze even those who know them best. They come with homesickness and anticipation. They come with humility, and with questions. They come with goals, and they come with secrets. We believe that God brings them all to us. We believe that Jesus loves them all, and died for the sins of all. We believe God wants to bless, develop, use and bring to Himself these students. Their stories are different in the past. Their stories with us can take many paths, but we have good reason to hope it will end in success. His story, the Gospel story, gives us a reason to accept, teach, coach, train and develop these students for the glory of God. The story of their future may depend on your decision about boarding school. If you believe the next chapter in your student's story could be at Oneida Baptist Institute, then our admissions process will help determine if our ministry and your student are a good match.
