Academics
We are delighted that you have chosen to explore the many exceptional opportunities available for your child. For more than 40 years, Oakridge has been successfully educating the children of Orange County in preschool through eighth grade. A tested and proven curriculum combined with a value-based education has given Oakridge students an advantage as they step out into the next phase of their educational development. Honor classes are offered 5th through 8th grade. Students consistently score in the top ten percent of the national norm on Standerdized tests giving them the ability to attend their choice high schools and universities.
Oakridge Private School has two computer labs: one for elementary students and one for middle school students. Transitional Kindergarten through fourth-grade students attend computer classes in the elementary lab twice a week. Transitional Kindergarten and kindergarten students begin learning typing skills and use a drawing program to master the use of the keyboard and mouse. First graders type their weekly spelling words to improve their keyboard skills and second through third graders begin to use the Internet for researching various topics, along with continuing keyboarding.
Fifth through eighth graders attend computer class daily. The program is designed to give students competency in application and research skills that are compatible with the other academic disciplines. Students also master the programs contained in the Microsoft Office Suite.
Eighth grade students use the online yearbook program, provided by Jostens, giving them the ability to be a part of the yearbook staff going into high school.
