Boarding Schools in Virginia
Oakland School is a small co-ed boarding and day school that enables children who have dyslexia, learning disabilities, or organizational and study skills difficulties to reach their academic and personal potential. Thanks to a success-oriented environment and time-tested methods, hundreds of Oakland students have successfully returned to mainstream education since the school\'s founding in 1950. The school is located on the site of a former plantation in the rolling countryside of central Virginia, just eleven miles east of historic Charlottesville. Oakland's peaceful country setting and nurturing environment allow for truly remarkable learning to occur.

Designed for boys and girls ages 7-14 with learning disabilities, dyslexia or organizational and study skills difficulties. A strong basic skills emphasis is essential to future school success. Each student receives at least one 30-minute period per day of one-to-one instruction. Children with severe reading disabilities often receive additional "one-to-ones" and may spend 2 1/2 to 3 hours daily in intensive reading instruction. Because the ability to read impacts all aspects of education, teaching reading is a specialty at Oakland.
