Student Quote

“We didn’t feel our children were being academically challenged in our town’s public school system. Our experience with Oak Hill Academy has far exceeded our expectations. Our three older children were so advanced academically upon their graduation from Oak Hill, that they all were accepted to a top boarding school. Our eldest is now in college, and was recently elected President of her class.”
