History

 Thank you for your interest in Oakridge Private School. We are confident that you will be pleased with our strong record of academic achievement, as well as the dedication and care provided by our outstanding faculty and staff for more than four decades.

Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Burry

More than forty years ago, Oakridge Private School was founded by Mr. and Mrs. Burry, who recognized a growing educational need within the community. After spending two decades teaching in the public school system, the Burrys understood that small class sizes, phonics-based instruction, and Judeo-Christian values were essential components of a successful and nurturing learning environment.

What began as a small school with just nine students soon began to flourish. From the beginning, Mr. and Mrs. Burry were committed to providing a caring and stimulating atmosphere - one that encourages academic excellence while fostering self-esteem, character development, and respect for others. Oakridge continued to grow, guided by the core principle of maintaining a strong curriculum focused on foundational academics to prepare students for lifelong learning.

Today, the greatest testament to Oakridge's success is the many former students who have chosen to enroll their own children. Mr. and Mrs. Burry's vision and dedication continue to thrive, shaping generations of confident, capable learners.
