[quote=Anonymous]Former Oakcrest staff member and student here.  The girls are mostly lovely and dedicated students.  A lot of the education there is rigorous and students can be really exceptional and go on to excellent colleges.

It is intensely Catholic, but of a certain type.  Much more anti-abortion than, say, welcoming the stranger.  It will definitely not be a welcoming environment for someone who is LGBTQ or supports LGBTQ rights. It would mostly be clear that these views are wrong throughout the school community, although you will likely find a few (particularly older) students or families with these views.  I know of a teacher who led her students in prayer for a certain political candidate to win.  Humanities (literature and history) will also be much more classical in nature (a lot fewer non-western works or history than you'd find most elsewhere, including more mainstream Catholic schools).

While I have many positive memories, given where I am now in life I could never imagine going there or working there again.[/quote]
