Founded in 1796, Oakwood is one of the oldest co-ed boarding schools in America and the first private high school in New York State. International students have long benefitted from Oakwood’s challenging college-preparatory curriculum, AP, and ESL courses. Traditional Quaker values of equality, acceptance, and respect for every individual are woven into the curriculum. With a good variety of elective courses and extra-curricular offerings, students are encouraged to try new things, be creative, find their passions, and become well-rounded graduates. The diverse community places high standards of academic achievement, but also makes sure students develop into good people. In the picturesque Hudson Valley, midway between NYC and Albany, Oakwood offers small classes, individual attention, an academic support center, college counseling/placement, community service, and an inclusive sports program. Small class sizes allow for teachers and dorm parents to connect, nurture, and support students as they grow. Advisers meet with students weekly to offer personal direction and guidance. Because of the school’s great location, many student trips are possible taking advantage of both the rich history and beauty of the Hudson Valley and the proximity of New York City.
