Orange Park Christian Academy (OPCA) was a private Christian school in Orange Park, Florida, United States. It served students in kindergarten through grade 12 from 1981 to January 2008.
In early 2009, a collaboration of distinguished alumni attempted to split the land upon which the Orange Park Christian Academy formerly sat into two adjacent tracts. One tract was to be developed into a "full service entertainment complex." The other was to become a "novelty store." The entrepreneurs expected heavy traffic at both of these businesses from the residents at the geriatric center next door and the people of the surrounding community. The development plan, however, has ground to a halt because of zoning issues at the planning department in Green Cove Springs.[2]
