The Oakwood School

About
The Oakwood School is a PK3, PK4, K-12, coed, non-sectarian independent school setting the bar for a 21st Century education teaching the whole child through hands-on, experiential learning.
Admissions
The Oakwood School seeks students who demonstrate characteristics consistent with the mission of the school. The goal of the admissions process is to determine whether Oakwood is a good environment for the student's social, emotional, and intellectual development.
Academics
As educators, we establish a school climate that nurtures student growth so that our students will ultimately become independent, wise, creative, thoughtful, and engaged citizens who can manage their time, work in a team, set goals, and problem solve effectively.
Athletics
At The Oakwood School, the interscholastic athletic program is an important part of the student’s experience. Oakwood is committed to providing competitive opportunities through interscholastic, recreational, and intramural sports programs.
Fine Arts
The Fine Arts programs at Oakwood offer wonderful experiences that serve as a catalyst for students to explore and realize their creative potential. We have created a very intentional arts curriculum knowing that the arts are an essential and critical part of human expression and the human experience.
Giving
At Oakwood, our goal is to shape our students to be: people of integrity, lifelong learners, leaders, confident individuals, empathetic citizens of the world, disciplined, insightful, and courageous thinkers and learners. It is Oakwood’s vibrant culture of philanthropy that has sustained our ability to fulfill this goal.
Get Involved
One of the founding principles of Oakwood was to encourage parent participation and become an integral part of the school. Parent volunteer groups support our students through the generosity of their time and resources helping strengthen student programs, build community, and provide support for our faculty.
Alumni
Our graduates continue to live our mission, exemplify Oakwood's Portrait of a Graduate, and represent our legacy!

Drama

At Oakwood, the thespian is embraced by every person in our community either as an enthusiastic member of the cast, support team or audience. Starting with the youngest student, drama is something to look forward to as the annual PK and Kindergarten productions are a tradition and rite of passage.

In Middle and Upper School, the annual musical in late winter is one of the highlights of the Oakwood year. Students of all sorts find themselves curious and delighted to be a part of the production. From the athlete to the academic and the novice to the experienced actor, students find themselves excited to be on the bigger creative stage as the whole school comes together to enjoy and celebrate the efforts and talents of our students and the faculty supporting them.
