Discover a Purposeful Journey at Oak Knoll School



At Oak Knoll School, we see every individual as uniquely gifted and filled with purpose. Our mission is to help students uncover and nurture their talents, preparing them to make a meaningful impact on the world. Inspired by Cornelia Connelly, founder of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, we’re dedicated to guiding students toward a brighter future.

Since our founding in 1924, Oak Knoll has been part of the Holy Child Network of Schools, a global community dedicated to fostering faith, community, academic excellence, and compassion. We uphold the seven Holy Child Goals, which define our values and guide the educational experience we provide:

  • Faith
    We inspire students to build a joyful and personal relationship with God, encouraging them to live out their faith in all they do.

  • Community
    Our vibrant Catholic community learns, worships, and grows together, forming supportive bonds and celebrating shared values.

  • Love of Learning
    Our dynamic curriculum sparks curiosity, promotes academic excellence, and instills a love of learning that students carry with them for life.

  • Compassion
    Guided by Catholic social teachings, we live our motto, “Actions Not Words,” by fostering kindness, empathy, and a spirit of service in our community.

  • Respect
    We honor the dignity of every individual, creating an environment built on trust and reverence that supports each student’s journey.

  • Growth
    Personal growth is central to the Oak Knoll experience, as we empower each student to reach their academic, social, emotional, and spiritual potential.

  • Tradition
    As members of the Holy Child Network, we proudly continue the mission set by Cornelia Connelly, ensuring future generations benefit from this transformative education.

Across our coed PK-6 program and our all-girls Upper School for grades 7-12, Oak Knoll offers a nurturing environment where students learn through action, lead by example, and grow in both faith and character. Here, students are challenged academically, supported emotionally, and inspired to serve others, living out the values of our mission each day.
