In the Fall of 1976, a group of families and educators came together to establish an independent all-girls school in Washington, DC. That September, Oakcrest opened its doors to 22 students and 6 teachers in a large house on Idaho Avenue. With gratitude for our founders and with bold confidence in their mission that we continue to this day, let us continue to strive for excellence in the spirit of Oakcrest!
