All families should intrinsically be involved in the life of the school to the allowance of the season of life. One set of areas beyond volunteerism that typifies Oakdale Academy is “Oakdale U”, our series of classes and seminars focused on building a community of missionally-aligned families.
Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, each family is required to attend 1 class/seminar per year. Families who do not meet this partnership expectation may be ineligible for continuous enrollment and may incur a financial charge.
