Oakwood School’s K-12 program is rooted in relational pedagogy, where students are partners in teaching and learning. Children experience an education rich in the arts, sciences, and humanities while challenging their creative, intellectual, and athletic capacities. Oakwood is a learning environment that fosters independence of thought, intellectual integrity, sensitivity to the needs of others, and prepares students for participation in a democratic society.
Oakwood School celebrates diversity, values community, and develops depth of character in an environment where students are encouraged to share their ideas and individual voices. With an abundant selection of enrichment courses and opportunities across disciplines, the school is especially proud of its S.T.E.A.M., Experiential Learning, and flourishing athletic programs. In addition to core academic classes, Oakwood offers unique mentorship opportunities with Caltech, CalArts, NASA, and numerous organizations through the Immersion Program. While the programs are college preparatory, Oakwood is equally concerned with the quality of children’s experiences in the present.
