Oak Knoll School Of The Holy Child

Our daughter is a junior and has been attending Oak Knoll since 4th grade and we couldn't have been happier with the decision we made. She is flourishing in academics and athletics, and her friends (and their families) are really great people. My daughter has been exposed to volunteering opportunities which exposed her to the joy of giving back to others. Jen Landis, the Head of Schools, is a role model for the girls in the Upper School. We couldn't be happier with the experience - both ours and our daughter's. Oak Knoll carefully curates each student's experience to be purposeful and learn through doing.

I have been a teacher at Oak Knoll School for 6 years and a parent of a student at Oak Knoll for 3 years now. I chose to send my child here because I got an inside view of how incredible the teachers are and how they go above and beyond for all the kids who enter the building. I never have to worry if my child is having a good day or if she's being well taken care of and that relief is worth all the money in the world. In terms of academics, I love that she's being introduced to real art education classes, not just little crafts for kids, and that she also gets to take classes like drama and chorus. She's the happiest when she's at Oak Knoll and I can't thank the community enough!

I was a student at OKS for four years and I really enjoyed my experience! The school centers around the community and brings aspects of it into our everyday activities. The teachers genuinely care not only about students' grades but also they're well beings. The atmosphere is very collaborative between students and it feels as though everyone is working towards a common goal. A large aspect of OKS is preparing students for college and I feel more than ready to go to college in the fall. I am prepared for all academics, independence, and working through real life problems. I also loved playing sports at OKS because I felt supported by the whole school which is another testament to the community. The larger teams support the smaller teams and everyone feels like they are making an impact.

My children all started Oak Knoll in Kindergarten and my two daughters are now in the Upper School. After 17 years, it's easy to say that Oak Knoll is most definitely a part of our family's fabric. I'm so very thankful for the opportunities OKS has offered each of us. My girls are actively engaged with both the school community at large and with their individual teachers. I love how they've both found their unique voices in an all girls environment and are constantly challenged to think dynamically and creatively. The caring faculty and administration are preparing my daughters to be strong women, ready to reach their full potential.

We enrolled my daughter in 6th grade at Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child and wish we had enrolled her sooner. This decision has been one of the best decisions we have made as parents. Oak Knoll has a challenging and thoughtfully integrated academic program and offers many opportunities for extra curricular participation. It has given my daughter confidence and a "can accomplish anything" attitude. Prior to switching to Oak Knoll, my daughter didn't enjoy going to school. Since switching to Oak Knoll, school is an engaging, enjoyable and productive experience for our daughter. She is happy to get up in the mornings and spend her day at Oak Knoll.

I am a parent of two children at Oak Knoll School and I honestly don't feel there are enough words to describe how wonderful Oak Knoll is. My girls are absolute ambassadors of OKS, as I see the totality of what Oak Knoll offers, in them. The teachers and faculty are like family, the care they exude is ever so natural and nurturing. Don't get me started on the academics. In the lower school, the classes are interwoven. I was actually intrigued to learn that in the sixth grade for instance, as the origin of the golden ratio was being taught in math class, the students were also being shown how it was applied to the Mona Lisa painting in their Arts class, it's application in the Renaissance era in Social Studies, and there was reference to the concept in Science, and even in the library classes. My sixth grader was absolutely fascinated relating her experience. As for the nurturing environment, you can sense the importance of core values in the school, it only takes one visit to feel it in the air. The students are also exposed to practical religious tenets, helping those in need, etc. I honestly cannot say enough about Oak Knoll. I encourage readers who are searching for schools for their children, to visit their website at www.oakknoll.org or give them a call. There is no amount of investment too much to build a solid foundation for our gifts (our children).

I am the Mother of of a 2014 graduate. I can comfortably say that Oak Knoll yields a fine finished product. These girls are confident, empowered, and READY for what lies ahead. Common sentiment among the graduates is that they have been well-prepared for college and, as a result, they transition easily. The list of colleges the girls attend is quite impressive, check the website for details. I am a fan of the college counseling office. They are knowledgeable, helpful and appropriately guide the girls in the right direction.
