Procedure
1. An information packet about Oakwood School is forwarded to the parents following an initial inquiry by the parents or a referring professional. Parents are encouraged to attend a tour of the school. Tours may be scheduled by contacting our school office at (703) 941-5788.

2. Parents submit a completed History Form, and a non-refundable $50 Review Fee along with copies of the most recent psychological and educational evaluations, speech and language assessments, occupational/physical therapy assessments, records release form, individual educational plan, report cards, therapists reports and any other information the parents would like the Admissions Committee to review.

3. The History Form and accompanying documents are reviewed by the Admissions Office to determine whether additional information is required.

4. Once a file is complete, it will be assessed and a preliminary recommendation concerning the appropriateness of Oakwood's program for the student will be made to the parents.

5. As openings occur, potential student candidates will be invited for an interview and for an Educational Evaluation by our Admissions Team. A follow-up conference is held to provide parents with the evaluation results and to make a final recommendation as to the appropriateness of placement at Oakwood. There is a $275 fee for the Educational Evaluation and subsequent consultation. This fee is due at the time of the evaluation.

6. An acceptance letter and packet are offered during the follow-up conference to students for whom Oakwood School is deemed an appropriate placement.

7. In order to guarantee your child's placement at Oakwood a signed registration contract and tuition deposit must be received by the school Business Office.
