My experience has been amazing and I wish I would have found out about Oak View sooner because I love it here.

No one here bites, and you might actually enjoy learning if the people teaching you care about you as an individual, which they all do here.

I feel like I can absorb more because of how open minded the teachers are. They explain everything in depth along with fun life story examples relating to the topic.

It is the best place I have gone for my education, I finally feel like I have a home.
Emily, Senior c/o 2022
I feel I have maintained a more controlled and stable lifestyle since coming to Oak View and it has helped me schedule my days before and be more productive.
Olivia Parent
My perception of myself has changed a lot as I feel as though I am surrounded by people that would not judge me.

The learning environment at Oak View is much more relaxed than it was at (previous high school). It feels like every time we're learning something we're having a conversation about it instead of just writing and listening. It's a lot more hands-on and encourages students to participate, which previously I wouldn't have wanted to do, but because of the relaxed environment of Oak View it feels natural.
You're gonna wish you came here sooner.

For a lot of my life, I really didn't like myself. Now that I'm here, I've had the time and energy to take care of myself the way that I need. I'm able to be who I want to be here, without feeling pressure to fit into any sort of group.
Angelina Spicer, formerly a student in neighboring district
Do it, just do it. If you're hesitant at first, don't worry I was too, but now that I came here I finally got that part of me back that I lost through the traditional teaching style. I feel complete and happy, and in the end that's all that really matters.
