As my family begins to look at High School options for my 8th
Grade son Brady, I enter each tour, each visit, and each discussion with a
whole new perspective on the admissions process. Instead of Head of School, I
am parent, educator, consumer… this gives me a different set of eyes and a new
way to look at what “the right fit” truly is!
The independent private school admissions office is always evolving… at Oakhill, in the
Midwest, and across the Nation. Although each school differs in recruitment methods and admissions processes, our goals remain the same – to attract great
students, great families, and true partners in education.
Our Admissions office at Oakhill is a busy one. Leah, our Admissions Director is busy fielding phone calls, walk-in and scheduled tours, student visits,
and more... all to gear up for Oakhill's Open House on November 23rd
from 10:00 a.m. - Noon. Last year’s Open House was our first one-day, weekend Open House event and was a huge success – more families than
guides to show all of the anxious prospective families around! Now that's a wonderful problem to have. This year, we anticipate another
successful event. Our four 8th grade Ambassadors, along with many additional administrators and Oakhill parents, will lead tours throughout day.
Prospective families will enjoy traversing through the campus, meeting
teachers, asking questions, hearing how Oakhill stands apart from its competition. Most importantly, we hope that everyone will see/feel what our school is all about because deciding on a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you'll make!
We are doing our very best to promote this event, an event we
consider the kick off to the admissions season… through a billboard, postcards,
advertisements, and more. We hope you will take a look at your friends,
neighbors, business colleagues, and the like to see who you know that would benefit
from an Oakhill education. Invite them to our Open House, let us know you are
talking with them, help us share the Oakhill Story!
Tis the Season… for Oakhill admissions! Together, we grow!
