Thank you for your interest in Oakwood School, a private 1st-8th-grade school in the DC Metro area for students with dyslexia, ADHD, and related language-based learning differences.
Families come to Oakwood because their children are bright and capable, but need instruction that's structured, explicit, and diagnostic in ways their previous school couldn't provide.
At Oakwood, we believe your child deserves:
- Explicit, direct, diagnostic instruction grounded in research and evidence-based practices
- Small classes and thoughtfully designed learning groups for reading, writing, and math
- Personalized instruction that responds to your child's unique strengths and learning profile
- Direct strategy instruction to build independence, organization, and self-advocacy
- A nurturing, knowledgeable school community where educators understand how your child learns
Starting the Admissions process does not require certainty; it simply opens the door to conversation, guidance, and information.
Most families begin by completing an inquiry form and connecting with our Admissions Team to talk through your child's learning profile.
If you're ready to move forward, you can start an application today. Once your account is set up, you can log in and complete it at your own pace. Our team will guide you through each step, including questions about tuition and financial assistance.
Prefer to talk it through first? Call our Admissions Director, Diana Kelly.
Oakwood School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, national or ethnic origin in student admissions, student aid, or any other opportunity or benefit for students. This same commitment extends to our hiring and personnel practices.
