Oakwood School

My son was sinking fast in 5th grade public school. His negative self image and unhappiness was closely tied to his perception that he was 'dumb, which stressed him out enough that he couldn't focus in the classroom. Transferring to Oakwood completely changed his outlook. This school uses small group instruction and multisensory methods throughout their programs, which work beautifully for my son. He is now being taught at his level, and quickly gaining ground. He is relaxed and happy which carries over into his evenings and weekends. Highly recommended!

Oakwood School use to be the only option for parents of children with learning differences and I think they still believe this. With the "no grades" it allows them to not hold themselves to any standard. The longer you keep your child at Oakwood, the further behind he/she will become and eventually you will have to mainstream them in high school with them being years behind their peers. They say the kids only stay a couple of years. Find out the reasons they leave and what grade they move to after attending Oakwood School. If you have low expectations and can afford the tuition than you will be content. Your child will be better served if you do your research and explore other options.
