Our Mission
Parent Partnership
Partners in your daughter’s formation.
Parents are the primary educators of their children.
By vocation, you are first and foremost called to guide and educate your daughters. No one knows and loves your daughter as you do, and no one has a greater role in helping her grow into the woman she is called to become.
Our role is to support you in that work.
We seek to help you know her better, understand the challenges and opportunities she is facing, and support you in guiding her.
Coming to Oakcrest made me a better parent.
When the culture and priorities of the family and the school align, and parents, educators, and mentors are working toward the same ends, the student will flourish.
Partnership in Practice
Get Involved
Parent Community
A welcoming community where Oakcrest mothers gather for talks from faculty, staff, and guests to support each other in their vocation as mothers.
Opportunities for Oakcrest fathers to connect with one another, support their families, and grow in their role as fathers through fellowship, formation, and shared traditions.
- Daily Mass: Parents are welcome to join the Oakcrest community for daily Mass.
- Adoration: Monthly opportunities for parents to spend time in Eucharistic Adoration and pray for their daughters, their families, and the Oakcrest community.
- Monthly mornings of recollection for women: Quiet mornings of guided prayers and talks for women at the Oakcrest chapel.
Throughout the year, parents are invited to gather for coffee and conversation with the Oakcrest parent community. It’s a chance to connect with other families while exploring teaching and parenting topics specific to your daughter’s age and grade.
- Striving for Excellence Series: Lectures with Dr. Edwina Maksym exploring the foundations of philosophical anthropology and offering parents a deeper understanding of the human person and their daughters’ development.
- Technology Workshop: A parent workshop featuring Clare Morell, author of The Tech Exit, along with other guest speakers and a panel discussion on helping girls navigate an increasingly technological world.
- “Courageously Guiding Our Kids” with Dr. Ana Samuel: A guest lecture addressing sexual identity, friendship, virtue, and the ways parents can accompany their children with confidence and courage.
- Back-to-School Ice Cream Social: An opportunity for families to reconnect and welcome new families to the Oakcrest community.
- Advent Mass & Dinner: The community gathers to celebrate the coming of Jesus through Mass, fellowship, and dinner.
- Father-Daughter Dance: A special evening for fathers and daughters to celebrate their relationship and make lasting memories together.
- Family Tailgate: A festive community gathering where Oakcrest families come together to enjoy food, school spirit, and time with one another.
A spirit of friendship and trust
We value open communication, honest conversation, and the shared understanding that everyone involved wants what is best for your daughter. When parents and educators work together with a spirit of friendship and trust, a girl experiences something powerful: the people who love and guide her are united in helping her become the woman she is meant to be.
The school is the children and the teachers and the families of the children, in a unity of intentions, effort, and sacrifice.
