About
A small school with a big sense of place
Ozark Middle School is a grades 6–8 community school set in the Lake of the Ozarks region, Missouri, built around small learning teams and a love of the lake.
Our mission
Ozark Middle School helps every learner become curious, capable, and kind through challenging academics, creative exploration, and stewardship of our lake community.
What we value
Five core values shape how this community learns and treats one another.
Belonging
Build a school where every person is known, respected, and included.

Courage
Try difficult things, learn from mistakes, and speak with honesty.
Stewardship
Care for one another, the campus, and the lake environment.
Our history
Ozark began as a community idea about building a school around small learning teams and a love of the lake. From a single library commons in 1989 to today's design lab and outdoor classrooms, our timeline is full of small, hopeful chapters.
