Oakhill Day School's Mission is to challenge, know, value, and inspire our students to be their best self.
Why Oakhill?
Oakhill is dedicated to providing your child with a school experience where they can grow, academically and socially, into the best version of themselves. Our committed faculty and staff value each student individually, nurturing their independence from 18-months until graduation.
We Inspire
Our daughter, was elected Editor-in-Chief of the International Relations Journal at Boston University. This is due to, among other things, the strong foundation that she received at Oakhill. We are very thankful for the education she received and feel so very proud of her.

We Inspire
Our goal is to understand why people send their children to Oakhill and provide the best based on their needs. Through our expansion to Upper School, we can continue our nurturing and supportive environment into a student's teen years when they need support more than ever, helping them reach their goals.
Maggie Newhouse, Director of Student Affairs
We Challenge
Oakhill Day school is simply the best. We spent a couple years in other school systems before transitioning to Oakhill and it has been the best decision ever made. Other schools do not even compare to the learning, love and support we have received from Oakhill. The teachers and staff are some of the best people you will ever meet in your life.

The Value of an Independent School
At Oakhill Day School, we are dedicated to inspiring students through scholarship by empowering compassionate learners to thrive in adaptability, resilience, and service. As an independent school, we foster a unique learning environment that encourages students to embrace their social responsibility, develop strong moral values, and achieve personal excellence across physical, emotional, social, and intellectual domains.
Our commitment to critical thinking and flexible teaching approaches ensures that each child's individual needs are met, fostering a love for learning and the ability to navigate real-world challenges. By joining the Oakhill community, your family will be part of a supportive and inclusive environment that values respect, continuous growth, and the understanding that making mistakes is an essential part of learning.
We look forward to welcoming you and helping your child embark on an enriching educational journey with us!
