We have two kids who have been students at Oakwood-a current college Sophomore and a high school Freshman. The faculty and staff at Oakwood are very kind and responsive to our questions and care about our kids both as students and people. Our kids have thrived at Oakwood with the small class sizes, high academic expectations, and overall support. There is a feeling of calm and peace on the beautiful Oakwood campus, which paired with amazing faculty and staff, contributes to a wonderful and safe learning environment for our kids.

Oakwood is amazing! I have two kids that attend Oakwood: my son is in 2nd grade and my daughter is in 6th. My daughter has been attending since 2nd grade and my son has been in since he was 4 years old! During our time at Oakwood, we have enjoyed so much of what they have had to offer. The teachers at Oakwood have always been so supportive of our kids and the passion that they bring to teaching has helped both of them to be engaged and learn effectively in class and at home. The school has been a safe place for my kids to learn as we are always well-informed about what is going on in the school and their steps to get our kids back into school after lockdowns have been amazing. The extracurricular activities that the kids have been involved with are always great from fun plays and musicals, sports, family events, and even *gulp* dances! There isn't much more I could say about Oakwood other than the staff is great and the kids are genuinely excited to be at school every single day we look forward to seeing both of them eventually graduate from this great school!

Everything about Oakwood School has been amazing for our kids: the administration, the staff, the teachers, the academics, the extracurriculars, and the other families. Our kids were academically challenged and were very well prepared for college.
