Our faculty is deeply committed to working in partnership with students, and is keenly aware of the valuable contributions each young person can bring to a classroom conversation, town meeting, or other area of school life. Teaching at Oakwood means devoting oneself to the mutual exchange that takes place between teachers and students – the understanding that teaching and learning are inseparable, reciprocal processes, and that human relationships are at the heart of that exchange.
