Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child is an independent Catholic PK-12 school in Summit, New Jersey. Here, we empower students to cultivate their faith, embrace challenges with curiosity and strength, and develop a global sense of responsibility to significantly impact the world.
The All-Girls 7-12 Upper School
The Upper School at Oak Knoll opens doors for young women in Grades 7-12, empowering students to develop their individual gifts, set high educational goals, excel at the nation’s most prestigious institutions, and emerge as leaders.
Through our dynamic academic program – rooted in the traditions of our Roman Catholic identity and rich with the innovative qualities of an authentic independent school experience – Oak Knoll prepares graduates not only to succeed in the real world but also to change it for the better – becoming living examples of founder Cornelia Connelly’s motto:
“Actions, not words.”
At each critical stage of education, Oak Knoll students:
-
Live By Faith.
At Oak Knoll, we believe every student has a unique purpose and calling – and we help students of all faiths discover and celebrate that purpose to become the joyful, values-driven community members our world needs.
-
Learn By Doing.
Oak Knoll students discover knowledge through a bold and interactive academic program that inspires young people to voice their opinions, think creatively, take risks, and develop the best parts of themselves.
-
Lead By Example.
Here, students are as wise as they are smart, becoming compassionate leaders equipped with the courage to make a difference, whether at top secondary schools for male alumni or the world’s finest colleges for female graduates.
