Oakwood School was founded in 1951 by parents who wanted to provide their children with an educational experience that was rich in the arts, sciences, and humanities and challenging to their creative, intellectual, and physical capacities. They wanted a learning community which would foster independence of thought, intellectual integrity, sensitivity to the needs of others, and prepare students for participation in a democratic society.
 
During Oakwood's 75th school year, we are celebrating everything that has made Oakwood what it is today. We are also looking ahead to Oakwood’s future, to all that our school can be, and everything our students will become.
