Testimonials
Susan
Every child gets what he or she needs to thrive and succeed at Oak Hill. Parents are also so supportive of each other. Your child and you will feel truly "known" by the teachers and administrators. The on-site occupational and speech/language therapies are also a big plus.

I highly recommend Oak Hill Academy. My son was at OHA for 9 years. He had excellent teachers and flourished academically and socially. He played sports and was involved in many activities. We even traveled over 30 to an hr to go to such a wonderful school.

This is our first year at Oak Hill Academy. I wish I would have known about the school sooner. My son is happy again and loves going to school now. Oak Hill just made us feel at home. The staff is amazing and the parents are just wonderful.

We left our lives in New Mexico for this school, and we have not regretted our decision for a minute. Our son has a host of medical conditions but all the potential in the world, and Oak Hill has been so accommodating and encouraging to him and our family. We are so thankful to have found this special school!

Oak Hill has been our saving grace. We shudder to think what road our son would have gone down had we not had this soft spot to fall on. We can’t thank you all enough!
