Oakland School offers a five-week summer program for children ages 6 to 15 (9 to 15 for boarding, or sleep away camp). The summer program is well suited for children with learning differences or those who simply need a summer’s worth of focus on reading, writing, and math to catch up - or get a head start on the next school year. A great mix of academics and traditional summer camp fun, students receive approximately 3.5 hours of academic instruction including one-to-ones. The rigorous, yet fun, camp offers daily activities such as horseback riding, swimming, archery, arts and crafts, nature, and more.

Financial Assistance Available

Financial assistance is limited and awarded on an as-needed, first-come, first-serve basis.

Oakland School is a small, co-ed day school and day and sleepaway camp for young children and teens, ages 6-15 (9-15 for boarding) who need help reaching their academic potential. This includes those who may have learning differences, organizational and study skills difficulties, or gifted child have a special area of interest they wish to hone. Thanks to a success-oriented environment and time-tested methods, hundreds of students have successfully completed their time at Oakland and returned to mainstream education (part of Oakland's mission) since the school's founding in 1950.

Oakland School is located on 450 acres of rolling countryside in central Virginia, just eleven miles east of Charlottesville. Oakland's peaceful country setting and nurturing environment allow for truly remarkable learning and lifelong friendships to occur.
