Parents Support Resources

Since its founding in 1976, parent partnership has been at the heart of the mission and philosophy of Oakcrest School. In a spirit of friendship and mutual trust, Oakcrest collaborates with parents in helping their daughters to be young women of intellect, faith, and virtue. 
 
When the school and parents are united in this noble mission, we are best able to achieve the common goal of educating young women of character - girls who thrive at Oakcrest, in college, and beyond.

In pursuit of this mission, Oakcrest wants to offer you, parents, a hub of resources and support in the education of your daughters. Check this page for regularly updated book reviews, links of interest, parent speaker events, and more.

In this timely and practical guide, Morell offers families a clear, achievable path toward freedom from the pressures and harms of digital technology. Her message is both simple and empowering: a healthy, intentional, and tech-sane family life is possible.

For parents who feel torn between knowing the risks of constant digital exposure and believing screens are unavoidable, this book provides hope, clarity, and concrete steps toward the life you truly want for your children.
