Admission Procedures - Middle School
It is recommended that you begin the admissions process by visiting an Open House or attending campus tours. Families are invited to attend Open House with their children. Campus tours are held during the school day and are for parents only. Contact the Oakwood admissions office at admissions@oakwoodmail.org or (408) 782-7177 x204 to attend a tour.
Applications are accepted beginning in December for the following school year. Applications for mid-year transfer students are considered throughout the year, but are generally discouraged in the final 2-3 months of the school year.
Oakwood Middle School consists of grades six through eight and is an ideal time for a student to be enrolled in order to be prepared for a college-prep high school. Students applying for middle school are scheduled for a shadow visit, where they will shadow a student in their current grade level for two days.
Applications are submitted online with a non-refundable $75 fee to the Admissions Office which will then schedule the student shadow days followed by a parent interview with the Principal. Students applying during the summer months will be scheduled for testing with an Oakwood teacher for which a $100 assessment fee is required in addition to the application fee.
Applicants for new student enrollment received by the end of January will generally receive their notice by mid-march. Students enrolling at other times should receive notice within 2-4 weeks after the interview and any needed assessment.
