OAKWOOD SCHOOL
105 John Wilson Way, Morgan Hill
408/782-7177; oakwoodway.org
Oakwood “feels like family” because it’s
always been one, ever since 1959 when artist
and educator Gwen Riches gathered children
and friends for an after-school program in
her Los Altos home. Today visitors to the
sunlit 25-acre campus instantly recognize
something special: a supportive environment
focused on the whole child, led by expert
teachers who clearly love what they do. A
proven college-preparatory curriculum sets
high expectations for both character and
academics, so students become not just
good communicators and critical thinkers but
resilient citizens who behave with authentic
kindness and respect. An age-tailored early
childhood program gives little ones’ curiosity
a workout, while upper-grade classes continue
to foster the spontaneous, broad-based
learning that takes every individual far in life.
