On behalf of students, staff, and the Oxford University School community, welcome to our website. We are pleased to share with you information about our school’s mission, philosophy, curriculum, and future goals.

Oxford University School was established in 1984 by a core group of parents who wanted an educational alternative for their children. OUS has an excellent reputation both locally and statewide for providing academic excellence in a nurturing environment where all children are given the opportunity to reach their individual learning potential.

Striving to be an inclusive school we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual student and their families. Students are admitted without regard to race, color, religion, and national or ethnic origin.

We hold dear the traditions and values that have served us well in years past while incorporating current curriculum and technology that will give our students the ability to excel in present and future educational endeavors.

Students are challenged by a rigorous, but developmentally appropriate academic program that includes core academic subjects. Other subjects included in the curriculum are music, Spanish, physical education, and computer lab.

Our challenging curriculum is based on national standards and prepares our students to consistently score well above the national average on the Stanford Achievement Test given each spring.

Our excellent faculty and staff nurture and encourage each child to reach their full learning potential by teaching to individual strengths and weaknesses.

The OUS community is excited about future plans to continue to serve students in a state of the art facility. Under the direction of the OUS Board of Directors we are presently in the formative states of a capital building campaign which will allow us to relocate to a new campus and build a new school.

I invite you to visit OUS, examine the curriculum and observe the teachers and children at work in the classrooms. When you come you will observe children who are being challenged academically, who are engaged in developmentally appropriate learning experiences across the curriculum, and who are experiencing the joy of learning in a nurturing environment.
