The Oakley School Mission
Our mission is to inspire each student to respect and pursue educational and moral growth while developing individual skills crucial to success in a complex, changing world.
By engaging in diverse educational experiences, both in and out of the classroom, self-esteem is strengthened and life skills are promoted. What parents find in Oakley School is a place for their children to excel in academics, acquire positive emotional communication and responsibility, and discover new strengths in physical adventures and community service.Competitive Sports
Oakley School participates in the Utah High School Athletic Association on the 1-A level. We offer a choice of individual or team sport options per season and ask all students to participate in one sport per academic year. The goal of the sport program at Oakley is to expose students to a competitive experience, allow them to gain competency, and more importantly, to teach the value of teamwork and to have fun.
Fine Arts
Whether you're Monet, Picasso or an aspiring young artist, Oakley School recognizes everyone has perspectives to share and lessons to learn through the medium of art: sculpting excess to find success; infusing vibrant life on barren canvas; enacting humanity's truths on stage; or challenging assumptions through unique perceptions.
Community Service
At the core of all Oakley courses, modules, dorm life, and student interaction is our commitment to community service. It is our intention to expose each student to various methods available for them to give back to the community around them, taking the focus off of themselves and giving to others.
We build time and support into each component of Oakley for our students to incorporate an element of service into everything they do. Our students go on service oriented field trips with their classes. They spend time in their modules providing service to the community or the environment. They participate in intercession trips, assisting schools and farms by providing labor and donating time in exchange for room and board. Our students have traveled to Oregon to work on an organic farm, to Arkansas to assist with the Heifer Foundation, to Mexico to build housing, and to Spain to work in the elementary schools.
We introduce them to adults who have committed their lives to helping others – individuals running a women’s shelter, feeding the homeless, building houses, working at the local recycling center, spending the day at an elementary school teaching children how to speak English. We introduce them to a wide spectrum of locations in our local vicinity, around the country, and internationally such city shelters, organic farms, Forest Service trail work, and third world villages.
Individual community service hours are accumulated and documented on each student’s transcripts.
