Here’s what Oakland alumni have to say.
"To me, Oakland is much more than a school, it’s an institution that molds entire futures. Coming into Oakland with a plethora of learning differences, Oakland has not only helped me academically but truly helped me better understand myself and my capabilities. From the start, each student is informed that 'can't' isn't an excuse and that greatness is in everyone’s future. At Oakland, teachers believed in me, allowing me to believe in myself."

"This place is great, made friendships that I have kept to this day, don't know where I would be without Oakland school. The staff is companionate and the teachers want to see you succeed. Overall, this place is the best."
Ezra K., Oakland Alumnus
"Graduated in the summer of 1989 after two full years there that changed my life for the better. Couldn't have made it without the great people of Oakland School. Loved my time there. Made me the man I am today."
Andrew S., Oakland Alumnus
"At Oakland, I transformed from a little, shy girl who got bullied because I could not read like the other kids to feeling safe and happy at a place where everyone was treated the same. The first day I toured Oakland, I felt at home and for once could just be me. The feeling that Oakland is home still has not changed even years since graduating. Oakland gave that shy little girl confidence, friends that understood, and the tools to learn."
