Welcome from Our Head of School

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about The Oaks!

Welcome to The Oaks! We have intentionally created an environment where every person is valued, celebrated, and supported as they grow. Through a progressive lens, we guide children to think critically about the world around them and to develop the tools for leadership.

Stepping onto the campus, you immediately feel a sense of calm as you leave behind the vibrancy of Hollywood. Children thrive in this setting and are able to explore their many areas of interest with confidence and encouragement. School is a safe space where they are encouraged to take risks, make mistakes, learn, and grow. This allows them to become confident in their abilities. As a progressive school, we believe students construct knowledge allowing them a deeper, more meaningful understanding. 

Identity and difference are critical pillars of our school. Students learn to recognize social injustice and develop skills of allyship and advocacy. This extends to our families, and a sense of belonging is palpable. Families partner with our talented, dedicated faculty and staff, creating a truly joyful, engaging learning community. 

I look forward to welcoming you to campus so that you can experience this wonderful school firsthand.
