From Oakwood School

Oakwood children thrive in an environment where it is safe to ask questions and to take risks, where diversity in culture, opinion and learning style is valued because we believe the first step to knowledge is an open mind.

Students are encouraged to ask questions, to experiment, to share their ideas and their excitement. It is respect for each individual voice that makes Oakwood special. Here, every child is known and valued.

Oakwood School Reviews

Considering it was a small, predominantly white private school, there was no diversity. However, it has been 2 years since I graduated, so I'm unsure if this is still an issue. While I was there, I noticed that many of the kids already had established friendships from their time in elementary and middle school, resulting in them forming tight-knit groups. There would be segregation amongst everyone; the "popular" kids, nerds, band kids, non-white kids, etc. I hated my experience there mainly because of the people. Although it's not something that can be easily altered, I remain hopeful for progress toward greater diversity. Apart from that, I received great support from the teachers and the academic standards were exceptional!

Review Oakwood School

Our child has been enrolled at Oakwood since Kindergarten and we have had an incredible experience so far. Our little one is thriving! The teachers are so kind and smart, the staff is very supportive and responsive, and the community is beyond welcoming. We looked at all of the private schools on the east side of the 405 in LA and were most impressed with Oakwood! We have never been disappointed with our decision. There are of course bumps with every educational experience but the way Oakwood deals with those situations and the way they work on making sure they don't happen moving forward has been really differentiated. We feel heard and appreciated, always. Special shoutout to the teaching staff who work so hard to make sure all of the students are working to their highest ability. We love Oakwood and would highly recommend!

I loved my time at Oakwood. Their commitment to intellectual engagement and individual growth is evident in the classes you take and the people you meet. I feel after my time there, I was completely prepared for college and the rest of my life. Oakwood is fantastic at fostering a profound sense of community on campus. Everyone is brilliant, and warm, and open to engaging with new people. Our sports programs are also improving incredibly quickly – Steve Smith, WNBA coach and Athletics director, has done a wonderful job of revitalizing our programs. Many athletic titles have been won during my four years in high school. Also, the debate program is exceptional in both middle and high school. It is amazing to have the option to be a part of a nationally competitive and very successful squad. Thank you, for an amazing four years, Oakwood!
