School Notes Overview:

Oakwood School is a non-profit, non-sectarian New Jersey Private School for the Disabled. The school serves adolescents age 12-21 in grades 7 through 12. Twenty-Five school districts in Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex and Union counties entrust Oakwood School to educate their special needs children. Our primary population is learning and/or language impaired children with concomitant social or behavior issues. Our teaching staff is highly qualified and our support staff and aides are highly trained, caring and dedicated to enriching the lives of their students. Our less than 3-1 staff/student ratio, combined with a small intimate setting, is conducive to maximizing learning and personal growth. The school provides a safe, nurturing atmosphere that encourages students to develop their academic potential, self-control, and enhances their sense of self-esteem. This blend of socialization experiences and academic programming maximizes the acquisition of basic skills in the N.J. Core Curriculum subjects, thereby enabling students to function as independently as possible upon graduation....
