Why All-Girls?

An All-Girls Education Matters

The educational vision at Oakcrest is grounded in a deeply Christian understanding of what it means to be a human being and a woman, as revealed in Sacred Scripture and presented in the teachings of the Catholic Church. 

With decades of experience in single-sex education, we are uniquely suited to help young women flourish.

With an outstanding faculty and coaching staff, Oakcrest provides an environment where girls can take on challenges in academics, athletics, and extra-curricular activities with confidence and a spirit of adventure.

"Girls need a community that lasts... I have visited a number of girls' schools -
such as Lauriston in Australia, Oakcrest School in Virginia, and the PACE Center in Orlando -
that consciously, thoughtfully, and intentionally provide that community of women for girls." 
Leonard Sax, M.D., Ph.D. Girls on the Edge, pp 230-231.
