School Life
At Oakwood, we believe that every student deserves an enriching, supportive, and engaging school experience.
In addition to our strong academic curriculum for bright students with learning differences in 1st-8th grade, we provide multiple opportunities designed to develop the whole student and foster a strong community spirit.
Join us in exploring the vibrant, inclusive, and empowering school life that makes Oakwood a special place where students learn and thrive.
School Activities & Events
Field trips and assemblies are another multisensory method of bringing learning to life. We encourage teachers to plan activities that enrich students' understanding, spark curiosity, and help them connect classroom knowledge to the broader community and world.
Leadership opportunities foster growth and independence in students, helping them build confidence, responsibility, and essential life skills. These experiences empower students to take initiative, make decisions, and positively influence their peers and community.
School traditions and events build community and allow students and families to connect with peers and classmates.
