The Oakley School provides a college preparation program where learning is its own reward. Oakley stresses a "hands-on" learning environment, where lessons are not only applied and retained, but a lifelong love of learning becomes part of the student. A full curriculum includes college preparatory courses, Honors, and a limited selection of Advanced Placement courses in all academic areas stressing academic achievement.

Oakley students are encouraged to begin the college application process in the junior year, and they all take college visits in the fall of their senior year. All Oakley students who have applied have been accepted to colleges of their choice. In the Oakley School context, natural curiosity receives encouragement and direction, as do individual abilities. Here, learning is one of life's consummate celebrations.

At the Oakley School we offer three trimesters of coursework and a condensed summer trimester. Our students attend classes four days a week from 8am till 4pm. Each student is required to have a laptop computer and we will load a program onto the computer to block internet access and the use of games. Internet use is limited to the library only and depending on the level of the student, varies in supervision. Click here for Laptop Requirements >>

Academic Support Services

We understand that although many of our students are capable of solid academic performance, some of our students will need a variety of academic support services available to them at Oakley. They may have let their academics slide over the last semester or two and need some extra time to rebuild skill sets. They may struggle with math or reading. They may have life long struggles with organization and learning solid study skills.

We assist our student’s needs with a series of services built into the school day, available after school and in the evenings, and available as contracted assistance within our local area. Here is a list of what we can provide to a motivated student:

  • We build two Study Halls into the average student’s trimester, giving them ample opportunity to address homework and seek out academic support throughout each day.
  • We assign an Academic Advisor to each student and encourage our students to reach out to their advisor when they need extra assistance with school work and use their advisor as a support system for them throughout the year.
  • We provide a scheduled Study Lab for students who may need additional subject or skill support at the beginning of enrollment. This study lab has a dedicated tutor who works individually with the students. Scheduled into the lab are subject skill building, organizational skills, and confidence building in specific subject areas.
  • We provide Math Lab weekly for two hours on Monday evenings. Students can schedule this during their evening free time and part of their evening study hall and use this opportunity to ask for assistance with their math skills and assignments.
  • We can make arrangements for your student to work with our Reading Specialist. Our Reading Specialist works with students who have mild dyslexia, processing concerns, or struggle with reading and writing skills. This is a contracted academic support service and the only academic service provided at Oakley with an additional cost above the monthly tuition.
