Welcome to Oakside Prep Academy - Elevating Education, Building Character™

Located in Waterford, Oakside Prep Academy never sets limits on how much your child can achieve. We shape instruction to build on the strengths and abilities of each child and make Moral Focus™ lessons part of every school day. As a result, our students thrive. In fact, a study done by Stanford University reveals that National Heritage Academies partner-school students gained the equivalent of three-and-half-months of additional learning compared to their peers.
