Oak Knoll Private Catholic Middle and High School - Tuition

Oak Knoll has shaped the woman I have become, and I am so grateful … I thank all the educators who not only imparted their knowledge, but also gave me their wisdom to continue my journey after Oak Knoll.” – Lauren Babb ’14

The Value of an Oak Knoll School Private Education

Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child provides an independent school experience that defies expectations, grounded in the Catholic faith and inspired by the vision and ideals of educational innovator Cornelia Connelly. Oak Knoll students grow and achieve through equally ambitious programs in academics, the arts, athletics, and service in a right-sized, action-oriented community where faculty champion students as they discover the best in themselves. In this affirming environment, students experience the joy of learning and become compassionate leaders who influence the world instead of being influenced by it.
