Our child was a mid-year transfer to Oakwood from a local public elementary school. What could have been a tough transition instead was seamless and incredibly positive. Within the first few days we knew it was the BEST decision we had EVER made. Our son was excited to talk about what he was learning in his classes. He found the curriculum to be interesting and the teaching style quite dynamic. He made comments like, “we get so much done because the kids aren’t disruptive!” and “the bathrooms are SO clean!” At public school his classroom was full of kids that were continually disruptive slowing down and/or stopping the teaching process every day and the bathrooms were being locked before noon because kids were flooding them on purpose. At Oakwood things were clearly different. Children and administrators greet parents dropping off children by opening car doors with a smile and saying, “have a good day!” The administration is very visible on campus, hands on, proactive and responsive. The campus and facilities are impeccably maintained, beautiful, warm and welcoming. Classrooms are engaging and teachers are clearly excited to be teaching. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, full of rigor, and interesting. Students are engaged, attentive, and eager to learn. It is very clear that Oakwood teachers and staff are incredibly supportive and want their students to succeed. Respect for others, respect for school, respect for yourself are all hallmarks within the Oakwood community and are clearly evident on campus. Students are encouraged to be the best version of themselves and it shows. Oakwood is an incredible place to learn and grow. Now, three years later, we still feel that transferring to Oakwood was the best decision we’ve ever made. Our child continues to thrive and has truly blossomed into a confident, more independent, insightful, and engaging young man. He is excited to go to school every day and is incredibly proud to be an Oakwood student. We are always sharing our Oakwood experience with people we meet because we continue to be astonished at how different an Oakwood education is. At Oakwood student excellence is not just a goal. It is a reality. If you are looking for a school that focuses on your entire child, building academically strong, confident, respectful, independent, engaging, resilient students with strong character, then you should definitely visit Oakwood. We are SO glad we did!
