Oakwood is Morgan Hill, California’s independent, non-sectarian, college-preparatory school for students in preschool through grade 12. Our diverse community, thriving on an expansive campus, provides a home for an extended family of learners. Here, we share our unwavering commitment to a more intentional education.
Our students learn every subject from experts in the field, express themselves joyously and authentically, rise to clear academic expectations, follow and set moral examples and participate in our exuberant culture of exploration. Oakwood students grow into well-spoken, confident, vibrant and individual citizens.
We hear it from parents and students. From teachers who can’t wait to come to work every day…and who practically mourn summers. From the alumni who come back to visit us, year after year.
OAKWOOD feels like family!
Oakwood School is Morgan Hill’s welcoming home for an extended family of learners, with an unwavering commitment to a more intentional education.
Our school lives this commitment by:
Ensuring that all students learn every subject from passionate experts so that they receive far more than textbook coverage, inspired to delve deeper by the enthusiasm and leadership of educators teaching what they love and only what they love;
Creating a disciplined and jubilant culture of confident self-expression most visibly in the performing arts, but infused into every aspect of learning at Oakwood, so students develop into their best, most authentic selves;
Upholding high academic expectations to inspire the kind of intellectual stamina that leads students to think critically and creatively, and engage actively with their studies;
Sustaining strong moral examples because the core values of this school family—including respect, service, honesty, kindness, and citizenship—never go out of style;
Leading children through a proven, flexible curriculum that inspires unbridled exploration by encouraging students to try their talents and explore their limits within a culture of kindness fostered by expert, caring teachers and staff members.
Through this more intentional education, Oakwood students grow as expressive, thoughtful, high-achieving, self-aware, considerate young people prepared for their top-choice colleges and meaningful lives as contributing, conscientious community members.
