An all girls' educational environment isn't about the absence of boys, but rather the presence and value of girls, and the importance of their development at this crucial age when they discover their gifts, talents, and aspirations. At Oakland Catholic High School, we believe that the best way to fully develop academic excellence, leadership potential, ethical decision-making, and spiritual growth in young women is to create an atmosphere that caters to their specific goals, needs, and learning styles. A member school of the National Coalition of Girls' Schools, Oakland Catholic draws on the extensive body of research and resources available that supports the value of single-gender education at the high school level.
