Why All-Girls?

An All-Girls Education Matters

The educational vision at Oakcrest is grounded in a deeply Christian understanding of what it means to be a human being and a woman, as revealed in Sacred Scripture and presented in the teachings of the Catholic Church. 

With decades of experience in single-sex education, we are uniquely suited to help young women flourish.

With an outstanding all-female faculty and coaching staff, Oakcrest provides an environment where girls can take on challenges in academics, athletics, and extra-curricular activities with confidence and a spirit of adventure.

"Girls need a community that lasts... I have visited a number of girls' schools -
such as Lauriston in Australia, Oakcrest School in Virginia, and the PACE Center in Orlando -
that consciously, thoughtfully, and intentionally provide that community of women for girls." 
Leonard Sax, M.D., Ph.D. Girls on the Edge, pp 230-231.
