The principal is supported by a dedicated team, including a Vice Principal for Finance, a Vice Principal for Academics, and a Vice Principal for Admissions.

OAA is a boarding school located in scenic Gentry, Arkansas, and has a rich history spanning a century, with an enrollment of approximately 120 students (80 dorm students and 40 day students). The campus is situated on a sprawling 200-acre campus with Flint Creek meandering through the campus, which offers a picturesque setting conducive to learning and growth. The surrounding community boasts abundant recreational resources, including City Lake Park with its biking trails, disc golf, nature trails, and the Illinois River, a popular destination for canoeing. Nearby, Bentonville features the renowned Crystal Bridges Art Museum and top-notch bike trails, adding to the area's appeal for families and students. For those with college-aged children, Southwestern Adventist University and Union College are both only a six-hour drive from OAA, providing a convenient option for higher education.
