Our daughter is a junior and has been attending Oak Knoll since 4th grade and we couldn't have been happier with the decision we made. She is flourishing in academics, athletics, and her friends (and their families) are really great people. My daughter has been exposed to volunteering opportunities which exposed her to the joy of giving back to others. Jen Landis, the Head of Schools, is a role model for the girls in the Upper School. We couldn't be happier with the experience - both ours and our daughter's. Oak Knoll carefully curates each student's experience to be purposeful and learn through doing.
