Oak Hills School

Two of my kids go here, both of them with speech concerns and one with learning and attention concern. this school has done amazing thing to work out of the box to help them learn and helping them be responsible for what they do and don't do. great work teachers!! Were moving so I'm really sad they wont be going here next year.

This school is really a great school. The principal studies the research of what improves success in students and actually implements them. It’s awesome. They have so many activities for the kids. Friday clubs is really neat. They take time to explore their interests outside of the day to day classroom. They have acting, singing, Minecraft and art clubs, to name a few. I think it’s really neat that they are allowing kids to foster more opportunities like that. It’s really cool. My son tried acting for a month and they had a school wide program where kids could perform. My son was in a play and there were kids around the school performing or showing their parents what they are doing. I really like the encouragement with parent involvement, they welcome parent volunteers in class and with the school. Our last school didn’t do that, it’s nice to be able to go and help out. It helps create a sense of community (in the school we moved from, it felt school was really separate and here I like how open they are in sharing what they are doing). They seem to have more opportunities her than our last school, the school counselor is amazing. One thing that really stands out to me is they have a meditation room. It’s a safe place where kids can go to help regulate their emotions when they are feeling imbalanced. I absolutely love the focus of the school is on the entire wellbeing of the child. They focus on getting their core needs met so they are emotionally regulated and in a state of mind to learn. The class sizes are not too big and from my experience have provided ample one-on-one attention. I’ve talked with other moms in the school who say the same thing. It was scary for my children to start a new school this year, and I’ll admit I was apprehensive at first as change can be difficult. I’m so glad we did. I adore this school, what it stands for and the school receptionists are even really cool. Which helps a lot as for most of us parents, that is our main interaction with the whole school. Great school.

This school came highly recommended from many people that I knew. I brought my son there and he went for a school year, and I have never loved a decision more. The teachers that work there love your children.. They are invested in, not only teaching them, but helping them grow as individuals. They don’t treat them like they’re just watching your children. They know all the little details and things that would comfort your child inspire your child, and motivate your child. They handle things in such a caring, responsible, and reasonable way. I love that the kids just play and they are allowed to be themselves. The teachers are firm and uphold rules, but are so good at redirecting and so kind. Especially with the little ones. I have never been somewhere where I have heard the little teachers speak so tenderly to them. I would recommend this place to anybody. I would absolutely send more of my children there, I love the school and I will continue to find ways to support them. I think they are amazing. Well worth it. best option I could have ever found. In a world where everything has become so digital, the kids are so much happier and play so much better. And they learn so much. I love that. They are learning another language. This helps in so many ways. It’s only going to set them up for much more success in life. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure that these kids are fed well, learn, manners, learn, interpersonal skills, and learn that they are valuable, and unique individuals. The one on one that they get for learning. You won’t find anywhere else. It’s balanced out with good clean fun and playing. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We wanted to love this school. Unfortunately, if your child is not a robot the teacher's and principal will not know what to do. It feels very "old fashioned" in the approach to disipline. My biggest concern is a total lack of Catholic identify. The teachers, Vice Principal and Principal sure expect students to be living a Christian life, when they themselves don't emulate the same. Administration is constantly yelling and lecturing students. Nearly daily my students have a story of somebody yelling at them for something. In no way is this what you would expect from a Catholic school and I have heard that even more families will be moving after what has been experienced this year. Some of the new teachers who have come in are great. Some have already quit. The new principal has done well at sprucing up the campus, but that's about as much as she has done to help this school thrive. They need a new administration who actually cares about the families. The VP needs to go (not even sure she has a teaching credential).
