“The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards” – Anatole France

Are standardized test results enough?

We don’t think so. While we ensure our program meets state and national benchmarks, and while Oak Hill students earn high scores on standardized tests—including the highest SAT scores in Lane County—we do not teach to the test. Oak Hill students succeed because of their exposure to challenging but attainable academic objectives; a rich selection of electives that reinforces core academic concepts; and close-knit relationships with a family of educators who know each student intimately. There is a reason why 100% of our graduates are admitted to 4-year colleges: because Oak Hill students receive a fine education, but also because Oak Hill’s teachers support students’ growth into critical thinkers, considerate leaders, and responsible stewards of our global community.

Mission
Oak Hill is an independent school providing a rigorous college preparatory education for motivated students, challenging each student to develop his or her intellectual and creative abilities.  Oak Hill’s culture inspires students to contribute responsibly to the community, develop good character, and embrace a love of learning.
