Virtually all Oakwood students continue on to college. Throughout their secondary school experience, students work with their advisors to develop a balanced curriculum which will nurture their interests and talents while affording them the widest range of options when the college selection process begins.
As this demanding time approaches, students and parents have individual and group meetings with the college counselors. Parents are invited to attend workshops about college admissions so that they may work effectively with their children to make well-informed and appropriate choices. Oakwood graduates regularly report that their success in college is in no small measure due to the intellectual curiosity and independence of thought that were encouraged during their elementary and secondary school years.
