The teachers at Oakland recognize each student as an individual and celebrate their strengths while pushing their students to grow. I know my kids are loved and protected when they are at Oakland. It shows when they start to miss their teachers during summer break! Not all schools are lucky enough to truly have that home and family feel.

"We love seeing how the Oakland staff and families truly care about the students and the school. We're proud to be Orcas!"
