Strong Families, Strong Daughters Blog:
Is there an ideal vision for educating middle school girls?
In this month's blog, Director of Middle School Cecilia Escobar describes the Oakcrest vision for girls which begins in Middle School. "At Oakcrest, the Middle School curriculum is guided by two principles: that love of reality is the foundation of authentic knowledge, and that holistic growth is only possible through many small steps taken over time," she writes.
