Graduates

Summary: At Oak Hill Academy, college planning begins upon enrollment. Students meet with our dedicated counseling staff, who tailor individualized course schedules based on grade level and individual collegiate goals. The College Counseling office also helps students—and parents—navigate the college admission process. Students work individually with college counselors throughout the process, from research to essay writing and application completion. We guide our students to target schools that are carefully considered based on their own goals and needs. We always encourage our students to “go where they can grow.” Oak Hill honors articulation agreements with an array of colleges, providing security for our students to be accepted into college. The vast majority of our seniors are able to apply “Early Action” because of institutional relationships cultivated through articulation agreements.
