School Notes Overview: |
"Everybody smiles a lot. That's one of the first things you'll notice at Oakwood Friends School. Perhaps it's because Oakwood emphasizes individuality, not uniformity. Held high is respect for the value of each student, teacher and staff member. Students also come to realize that although each individual has the right to pursue private goals, the rights of others must be respected.

Everybody smiles a lot. That's one of the first things you'll notice at Oakwood Friends School. Perhaps it's because Oakwood emphasizes individuality, not uniformity. Held high is respect for the value of each student, teacher and staff member. Students also come to realize that although each individual has the right to pursue private goals, the rights of others must be respected. The resulting spirit of common trust enables an honest, open exchange of ideas among all campus members. Oakwood Friends School provides a college preparatory education in a safe and structured atmosphere where students learn to actively participate in their education. Quaker values ensure that each student is valued for who he/she is and each student learns to appreciate helping others in the school community and their wider Poughkeepsie community.
