We require transcripts and confidential teacher recommendations from the student's current English and Math instructors, and a School Administrator who is familiar with the student. If a student has one teacher for math and english, the second recommendation may be submitted by an academic teacher who has taught the student during the past two years.
School Records include the student's current first semester grades, and grades from the preceding two academic years.
Recommendations and school records must be received by Friday, January 10, 2025.
All secondary campus applicants are also asked to complete a student statement on the application. This writing sample will not be graded, it is nonetheless an important opportunity for students to showcase their written communication skills and their perspective on the topic.
Please note: To support an equitable admission process, Oakwood School will not require the ISEE. Instead, all secondary campus applicants will be given a writing prompt in the student section on our application. Additionally, when evaluating admission decisions, the committee will rely on transcripts, recommendations, and interviews.
