Parents

We were pleased again in the 2008-2009 with the level of parental involvement but will be diligent to continue a commitment to be more aggressive in the 2009-2010 school year. Statistics show that students of parents who are more involved tend to be higher achievers. One of our goals is get parents more involved with directing their child’s homework, reading and planning for their future scholastic endeavors. Parents are one of the keys to improving student achievement at OIA!

The ultimate success of Oakland International Academy is realized through the success of the graduates as they leave the academic halls and classrooms to enter the post-secondary school setting. The primary goal of the school is to provide a safe environment for academic exploration and advancement. The school provides clean, spacious classrooms, professional instruction, a challenging curriculum, ancillary student support services, and interaction amongst students, parents, faculty, and administration, the students are provided with limitless educational opportunities.
