Oxford University School was founded in 1984 on a belief in people. The school and its employees believe in children -- in their uniqueness today and their promise for tomorrow. OUS is a not-for-profit, coeducational, nonsectarian day school. Courses are offered for

students age three through grade seven.

Since 1984, the school has continued to receive the highest level of accreditation (AA) by the Mississippi Private School Association.

OUS facilities include two classroom buildings, a gymnasium, outdoor science lab, writing lab, and playground situated on 10 wooded acres. These facilities are located directly across from Baptist Hospital of North Mississippi.

There are currently 31 faculty members and support staff at OUS, many of whom hold advanced degrees. The ratio of students to teachers in the elementary classrooms is 9 to 1.

OUS is governed by a Board of Directors made up of parents who are elected for three-year terms. The Head of School works closely with the Board and faculty to implement the school's mission and supervise day to day operations.
