VISION, VALUES AND MISSION

Our Vision: Oakhill School is a happy, vibrant and dynamic

place for learning, where children flourish in an

environment that celebrates diversity, rewards creativity,

embraces discipline and produces academic excellence.

Oakhill seeks to provide a broad, balanced education that is

modern and relevant to our times and integrates the

academic, cultural, social, physical and spiritual

components necessary for a young person's development.

Our Values: The School recognizes the individuality of

each child and provides a framework in which freedom and

discipline sit comfortably with each other. Children are

encouraged to think independently and respect one

another's view point. This approach builds confidence,

strength of character, self discipline and instills a desirable

value system and moral code that enables children to make

decisions and take responsibility for their actions. The

curriculum teaches our students to respect religious

differences and allows parents to set the tone for a child's

spiritual development. Oakhill students should leave with

both life skills and the skills for life, ready to continue their

journey with confidence.

Our Mission: Preparing students for life by encouraging

them to think for themselves and take responsibility for the

consequences of their decisions, for themselves, for others

and for the environment.

VISION, VALUES AND MISSION

Our Vision: Oakhill School is a happy, vibrant and dynamic

place for learning, where children flourish in an

environment that celebrates diversity, rewards creativity,

embraces discipline and produces academic excellence.

Oakhill seeks to provide a broad, balanced education that is

modern and relevant to our times and integrates the

academic, cultural, social, physical and spiritual

components necessary for a young person's development.

Our Values: The School recognizes the individuality of

each child and provides a framework in which freedom and

discipline sit comfortably with each other. Children are

encouraged to think independently and respect one

another's view point. This approach builds confidence,

strength of character, self discipline and instills a desirable

value system and moral code that enables children to make

decisions and take responsibility for their actions. The

curriculum teaches our students to respect religious

differences and allows parents to set the tone for a child's

spiritual development. Oakhill students should leave with

both life skills and the skills for life, ready to continue their

journey with confidence.

Our Mission: Preparing students for life by encouraging

them to think for themselves and take responsibility for the

consequences of their decisions, for themselves, for others

and for the environment.
