admissions alumni support teaching
Rich rewards result when a genuine dialogue is established between student and teacher -- when imagination, challenge, humor and surprise occur on both sides of the desk. The close connection between student and teacher is at the heart of an Oakwood education.

While our teachers represent a broad range of interests, talents and educational backgrounds, they share a love for young people and a deep respect for human diversity and dignity.

Our teachers are provided with time -- time for conversations with students, time to take risks and pursue possibilities, time to learn as well as teach.

Oakwood School is an equal opportunity employer. The school has an institutional commitment to diversity and encourages applications from candidates of color.

We seek teachers who are competent in their disciplines and creative in their approaches; who are committed to the whole of school life; and who dedicate themselves to the growth and development of their students.
                          -- Oakwood's Statement of Philosophy
Oakwood teachers not only believe in intellectual integrity, they exemplify it; they not only espouse social morality, they encourage students to take action, to make a difference. This faculty invigorated and inspired by Oakwood young people shares with them the imagination, challenge, humor, and surprise which accompany joyful learning.

We believe that a school environment should be supportive and stimulating, should hold intellectual attainment in high regard, and should encourage children to exercise increasing independence, to take meaningful risks, and to reflect on their experience.

Every secondary school student establishes a partnership with a faculty advisor which continues until they graduate. In weekly advisory meetings and in casual conversations, students have the opportunity to plan their course of study and discuss any issue relating to their academic or social life. Each spring, a day is reserved for parent/advisor conferences.
