A Message from Our Principal

Welcome to the Oakview Preparatory School's address on the World Wide Web: www.oakviewprep.com (or at redirected via www.oakviewprep.org).  At Oakview, we believe education is much more than academic excellence. We strive to develop the whole person, including Spiritual, Intellectual, Physical, Psychological, and Social development. Additionally, we focus not only on the three common R's of education —Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic but also on restoring in each student the three forgotten R's of true education —Reverence...for God, Respect...for self and others, and Responsibility...to God and country. At Oakview Preparatory School, we believe every child is a gift from God with unique potential. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to nurturing that potential in a Christ-centered, academically rigorous environment.

"For I know the plans I have for you… plans to give you hope and a future."

— Jeremiah 29:11
