Unlocking Every Student’s Potential at Oakland School
Set on a stunning 450-acre campus outside Charlottesville, VA, Oakland School has been changing how students learn since its inception in 1950.
At Oakland, we believe every student deserves to thrive. That’s why we create individualized learning plans for those with learning differences (such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or ADHD) and students who need more engaging, personalized instruction than traditional classrooms offer. We unlock your child’s potential through a multisensory, strengths-based approach, cultivating confident self-advocates, strong character, and a genuine joy for school. For almost a century, Oakland School has been a place where every student doesn’t just learn, but truly thrives.
Building Confidence and Character Beyond the Classroom
Beyond the classroom, Oakland’s built-in horseback riding program develops students’ confidence, showmanship, responsibility, and empathy. Our scenic grounds provide ample opportunities for outdoor exploration and hands-on learning. Whether through academic success or unique extracurricular experiences, Oakland School empowers students to excel in school and beyond.
