Oakwood School serves bright, curious students with learning differences in Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C. We specialize in supporting children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and other language-based learning differences, as well as students with challenges in attention, processing, or executive functioning.

We welcome students impacted by their learning differences at a mild to moderate level. At Oakwood, we know your child isn’t unmotivated; they just need a school designed for how they learn with the right tools and support to succeed.

Thanks to a recent submission from a former student, we have an incredible post!

Margaret (front row, red hair) sent us this class picture from the Children's Achievement Center (Oakwood's original name) from around 1979. Margaret also connected us with Mr. Paul Garneau, who shared updates on where he's traveled since leaving Oakwood a few decades ago.

If you spot a familiar face, let us know in the comments!
