Admissions

Inquiries and applications are received throughout the year and applicants are accepted on a space-available basis, although most students enroll in June or September.

Please note that school tuition and fees may be tax-deductible as medical expenses. Children who have been diagnosed as having a specific learning disability may qualify for deductions under federal income tax regulations.

The admissions process involves the following:

• Parents or educational consultants should speak with the school’s Director or Assistant Director.  At that time, a preliminary evaluation will be made to determine whether Oakland is an appropriate school for the prospective candidate and informational materials will be mailed from the school.
• The application form enclosed with the school’s materials should be completed and returned to the school along with current educational and psychological evaluations, school records including achievement test scores and teacher’s comments, and any other pertinent information.
• If it is determined that Oakland is a suitable match for the child, the parents will be contacted and an appointment for a personal interview and tour of the school for the parents and prospective student will be arranged.

We are happy to arrange for prospective parents to speak with parents of current or former students.
