the oakview preparatory school - let us make a positive difference in your child's life
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Welcome to Oakview Preparatory School! At Oakview we believe education is much more than academic excellence. We strive to develop the whole person, which includes spiritual, intellectual, physical, psychological, and social development. We not only focus on the three R’s—reading, writing, and arithmetic. We also focus on the three forgotten R’s—Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility.
Oakview has a dedicated team of teachers and staff members who endeavor to reflect Christ, and integrate Christian values in all aspects of the curriculum and school activities. Oakview is a safe, nurturing environment where students develop holistically.
To enable our students to develop to their full potential, Oakview provides opportunities to challenge our students and engage them in healthy competition. Annual academic contests include the Science Fair, Spelling Bee, Bible Bowl, and this year we have added a Multiplication/Division Challenge. We also offer a wide range of extracurricular activities such as basketball, self-defense, orchestra, vocal choir, and bell choir. This school year (2024-2025) we are planning to have a drama club and a writing club.
At Oakview we aspire to make a positive difference in the lives of our students. I pray that God will continue to bless us as we work together to educate the students for here and eternity.
Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.
