Alum: Oliverian was the "place" that helped our son discover his "place" both in educational terms and on a personal level. Oliverian provided a safe, nurturing, harmonious, caring, authentic environment for our son to re-discover goals and self-interests like pursuing a college education, that had been on-hold to deal with Depression/Anxiety/OCD. Our son graduated Oliverian in 2020 and is now a USC freshman. The loving staff and teachers helped our son to learn coping skills, manage his mental well-being and regain confidence to pursue his academic goals and many life interests, even whilst navigating during his senior year at Oliverian in 2020, during the pandemic. Our son had fun times and new adventures at Oliverian. Our son was able to find his authentic and genuine "place" within himself, discovering inner peace; a true sense of comfort with who he is. Our son and family made special friendships and important connections and we consider ourselves lucky to be part of the Oli Family.... Read 14 reviews

Students love attending games to support the athletes, particularly at events such as Spirit Week. Arts programs are excellent as well.

  Rating 3.53 out of 5  58 reviews

Senior: Oxbow is a smaller school, which makes classes smaller so you establish a close relationship with your teacher, so they know your personality, and learning styles, making it easy to learn and succeed academically. One of the challenges of this school, like many others is the lack of high standards and discipline. Many times the same distracting students rob students of their learning and don't get into enough trouble to where they stop. They get to pass with the lowest grades and infuriate the other students that want to learn.... Read 58 reviews
