Oakwood Friends is guided by the Quaker principles of peaceful resolution of conflict, equality, community, and the recognition of the worth of each individual. These are the central defining features of the culture of our school, reflected in interactions between students and faculty and in the day-to-day operation of the school. We offer our students a rich, college-preparatory curriculum through which they learn to think critically and to stretch their viewpoints to respect and include the perspectives of others.

Oakwood Friends seeks to enroll students who are academically motivated, exhibit strong character, and are eager to engage. We seek students who are ready to contribute their individual gifts and talents - academic, artistic, personal, and spiritual - to a small learning community which, in turn, will challenge and support their growth in those areas.

I invite you to peruse our website; however, our website can not tell the complete story of our community of students and committed faculty. I hope that you will join us for one of our Information Sessions or make an appointment to visit our campus to find out what makes Oakwood Friends School unique. Please feel free to call me to arrange your visit. I look forward to hearing from you!
