Reviews N/A

Oakwood is a K-12 coeducational independent day school, founded in 1951, where young people prosper in thought and imagination, in competence and character, as individuals and as members of a school community.
We believe that a school environment should be supportive and stimulating, should hold intellectual attainment in high regard, and should encourage children to exercise increasing independence, to take meaningful risks, and to reflect on their experience.
We seek teachers who are competent in their disciplines and creative in their approaches; who are committed to the whole of school life; and who dedicate themselves to the growth and development of their students.
We seek children who are capable, motivated, and characterized by a variety of talents, interests, learning styles, and backgrounds.
We seek parents who subscribe to our aims and values and are committed to working in partnership with the school.
Our program is college preparatory, but we are equally concerned with the quality of children's experiences in the present.
We believe that school must be rewarding in its own right, and not merely a step along a pathway to college.
