Education
Character Formation
Complementing the pursuit of truth with growth in virtue.
At Oakcrest, academic excellence is only one part of an education that forms the whole person. Alongside the pursuit of truth, students cultivate the virtues that enable them to truly flourish and experience happiness. Our goal is not simply to educate accomplished scholars, but to form magnanimous souls—young women of character who use their gifts in service of God and others.
The bridge between discovering who you are and becoming who you are meant to be
Each grade level focuses on a particular virtue, providing students with an intentional path of growth that shapes mentoring, retreats, student life, and the Oakcrest experience year by year.
The joyful pursuit of becoming who God created you to be
Virtue is not about perfection or simply following rules. It is the joyful pursuit of becoming the person God created you to be. Through the practice of good habits, students discover the freedom to choose what is good, the courage to pursue what is true, and the confidence to live lives of purpose.
- Ask thoughtful questions because they love discovering the truth.
- Welcome the student sitting alone and make room for others.
- Laugh easily, encourage often, and build lasting friendships.
- Take initiative when something needs to be done.
- Pursue excellence not for recognition, but to serve God and others.
