Oakland School Student Profile
An Independent School For Students Who Learn Differently

Students without diagnosed learning differences who benefit from a nurturing, multisensory personalized academic setting

Nurturing Capable Students with Curious Minds
Oakland serves students who may not have experienced success in traditional school environments. Many are performing below grade level in one or more subjects and need targeted remediation. Others are on grade level but struggling to keep pace. Some are advanced in certain areas while lagging significantly in others.
It is common for Oakland students to excel in one subject while being several years behind in another. Our personalized instruction model meets each student where they are both academically and developmentally.
