Tuition & Value: Investing in Childhood
How do you grow people of purpose? You plant the seed for a lifelong love of learning. You cultivate intellectual, spiritual, physical, and emotional development over time. You support them as they blossom into joyful learners, faithful friends, and good citizens.
This is the value of an Oak Knoll education.
An investment in Oak Knoll’s Lower School is not only an investment in your child’s education but also in their creativity. Their self-determination. Their faith. Their future.
We know that choosing a Holy Child private education is a commitment, yet we believe it is also one of the greatest gifts you can give your child.
Your Investment in Childhood
Beyond advantages such as faculty qualifications, range of courses and activities, class size, student achievement, lifelong friendships, and college acceptances, Oak Knoll offers a private, Catholic educational experience that brings together knowledge, faith, awareness of the world, and profound respect for the individual. It’s an independent school education that defies expectations.
