School Description
The story of Oakbrook began a little over 15 years ago with a large vision and a small school called the Village School. The Village School began with the purpose of teaching children ideas that matter. Children are thinkers who thrive on a diet of challenging ideas and questions. This philosophical approach has worked for over one hundred years in England and forms one of the cornerstones of The Village School.
Rosemary Moore founded The Village School in 1992 with 18 students in the basement of a church, although no affiliation with a particular church guided the school's direction or growth. Her vision was to create a cross-cultural school where children from various denominations were united by their willingness to work and to learn.
When Mrs. Moore founded the school, she never intended for the school to continue beyond grade five. Due to the tremendous support and insistence from parents, it was decided that the Village School would become a true college preparatory school and continue through grade 12.
In 2005, six students started a tradition by being Oakbrook's first graduating class. As of 2009, 76 students have left a legacy at Oakbrook Preparatory School. The legacy continues....

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Oakbrook is so valuable to the lives of the community which it involves. Each Student is taught the importance of knowledge, responsibility and friendship. It is a comfort to drop your child at school for you know that they are experiencing great wonders. A safe environment for your child to learn and grow mentally and spiritually. We couldn't imagine anywhere else.

- I had my daughter in K-5 program and I have to say that We loved it. From the classroom student size to the drop and pick up's. She learned a lot and compare to her friends from local public schools, she seems to be way ahead of them. We had moved so she is no longer in OPS. But truly it was the best
