Enroll at Oakland

Oakland's culture of care is clearly shown in their student-focused approach to providing personalized supports and willingness to go above and beyond to help students achieve their goals no matter the obstacles.

Oakland High School serves students in a small and supportive atmosphere with an alternative schedule. From professional certifications to co-curricular clubs, Oakland students are able to design a custom academic plan to reach their goals.

This approach combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning components. It offers the benefits of both physical interaction and the flexibility of digital resources.

We offer programs or courses designed to help students recover credits they may have missed or failed, allowing them to stay on track for graduation.

Oakland’s online classes provide personalized assistance and support to students. They might include one-on-one sessions with instructors or tailored assignments to address specific learning gaps.

Our curriculum covers essential  subjects (the "core") and additional offerings to enrich students' learning experiences.

Oakland students have the freedom to choose their educational institution based on their preferences, interests, or specific programs offered.

Unlike traditional academic calendars with fixed start and end dates, continuous enrollment means students can enroll in classes or programs at any time throughout the year.

This educational model is adaptable to students' schedules, needs, and preferences. It allows for customization and accommodates various learning styles and paces. An educational framework that prioritizes individualized learning, flexibility, and options for students to tailor their education to suit their needs and circumstances.

Oakland High School works closely with several community partners and volunteers. These partnerships help support youth programs, goods and services, and internship programs.
