Oakstone Academy is a nonprofit organization that has provided an exceptional private education to children in Central Ohio for more than 25 years. Located in Westerville, Ohio, the nationally recognized Oakstone Academy Model was developed by scholar Rebecca Morrison, Ph.D., and represents the culmination of decades of innovative research. This comprehensive approach emphasizes academic excellence, leadership, and community—creating an environment where every child finds a place to belong.

Serving more than 650 students each year, from early childhood through high school, Oakstone Academy is committed to fostering an environment that inspires and empowers students to reach their unique potential. Our educational philosophy blends academic rigor with leadership development and meaningful social engagement. While education is a serious endeavor, we believe learning should also be engaging, interactive, and enjoyable. Students are encouraged to build confidence, develop strong relationships, and form lasting friendships that enrich both their school experience and their lives.

Oakstone’s outcomes reflect this commitment to excellence. By their senior year, 90% of students are enrolled in college courses and studying college-level calculus. Graduates typically complete one to two years of college coursework before leaving Oakstone. Seniors have earned scholarships across a wide range of areas, including academics, leadership, athletics, theatre, music, technology, and the arts. The result is a highly regarded, affordable private school that offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum while preparing students for success in all aspects of life beyond high school.

At Oakstone Academy, we strive to develop lifelong learners and responsible citizens who are prepared to meet the challenges of the future. In partnership with families and the community, we create meaningful learning opportunities—both inside and outside the classroom—that foster knowledge, critical thinking, and strong character in an increasingly technological world.

Faculty and Staff

Teachers at Oakstone Academy are licensed by the Ohio Department of Education in their respective grade levels or subject areas. Class sizes are intentionally small, typically ranging from 14 to 20 students, with two teachers in each elementary classroom to ensure individualized attention.

Students also benefit from specialized instruction in physical education, art, and music, all taught by licensed educators.

Oakstone Academy is proud to be a recipient of the Governor’s Thomas Edison Award for Excellence in STEM Education.
