We had three children graduate from Oldenburg Academy. All have thrived post graduation and have become well-rounded, spiritual individuals. I highly endorse the environment Oldenburg Academy offers both students and parents.

Excellent preparation for the college experience. I was not only academically prepared. I was also taught the life skills necessary to succeed independent of my parents.
Endorse Oldenburg Academy. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
