"For the past three years, our daughter, who is neurodivergent, has been thriving at OHA. We were initially anxious about finding an educational environment that could cater to her unique needs. However, OHA has surpassed our expectations. We've witnessed significant advancements in her social interactions and academic achievements. This gives us confidence in her future success."We love the staff, teachers, and parents. We can't say enough good things about OHA.

Oak Hill Academy is an amazing place, doing wonderful things for children, families, and the community at large. When our son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) our primary goal was getting him the support he would need to flourish. After looking at many other options, we decided to send him to Oak Hill as a pre-K student. That single decision has made all the difference both for him and our family of five. The faculty and staff - from Mr. Smart (the school's Executive Director) through the admin staff, faculty, and teachers' assistants - all care for the children and work tirelessly to provide the best education and care available anywhere. They care deeply about every child, and work hard to educate and nurture them every minute of every day. All of this combines to become what I refer to as "Oak Hill Magic," and it has changed our lives for the better in every possible way. I could not dream of a better path for our family than the one that brought us to Oak Hill.

Oak Hill has been a godsend for my son. I have seen so much growth in the three years he has been at the school. Teachers are more than qualified to work with children with learning differences. They are loving guides who bring out the best in each student.
