My wife and I couldn't be happier with Oakwood. After a few months in Kindergarten, my daughter LOVES going to school. She's had great experiences with the teachers and staff --- all of whom are really supportive, kind, and thoughtful in their approach to childhood learning and development. There is a deep emphasis on both the nuts and bolts of reading and math, and on problem-solving, and giving them the skills that they will need to thrive. The school also goes out of its way to make it feel like a community, and, as a parent and person of color, that makes a huge difference.

This school has been great for my family. My son is so happy and wakes up excited about going to school every day. It is a well-oiled machine that has been masterful at curating an experience inclusive of fantastic families, committed and connected teachers, and an in-tune community. I have watched my son grow in ways that every family dreams of from catapulting his independence to planting foundational seeds of him becoming a life-long learner. This place is magical.

Oakwood is an exceptionally warm/nurturing but academically strong school. My daughter is a junior there and came from a not very rigorous middle school. The transition could have been brutal but the faculty worked together to support her and she's now taking honors Physics, AP US history etc. While Oakwood has a rep as an arty school (which it is) my daughter found her passion in the amazing STEAM department and willingly took math in summer school so that she could get to Calculus sooner. And I know this all makes her sound like she's just a machine - but she isn't. She's made wonderful friends and loves takes sculpture and ceramics. Oakwood offers everything she never knew she wanted to study. Basically, Oakwood doesn't just make strong students, it makes great kids.
