I worked here for a couple of years and can honestly say that it is a good school. It has its downsides but nothing you wouldn't find at any small private school. The poor reviews seem to be individual experiences and do not at all reflect the mainstream experience of the students. I would highly recommend this school.

I do not recommend this school at all. My daughter was subjected to very aggressive bullying, and due to the lack of safety and follow-up from the school, despite repeated attempts at communication, I had to remove her from there. I am very disappointed and truly believe there is discrimination at this place.

Attending Oakwood Friends School has been a great experience academically and socially. I have had the opportunity meet students from all over the world. The teachers have been very supportive in guiding my education in the right directions to get accepted to the university of my choice. The extracuricular activities I participated in taught me a lot about teamwork and sportmanship.
