[quote=Anonymous][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]

Former Staff/Student again - I'd also think clearly if you want such a specific conservative mindset guiding what they can expect with sex/relationships/marriage/motherhood.  I'm not affiliated with this group, but you can see numerous comments from alums on the Oaks for Change Instagram page.  They all ring true to what I've seen in my experiences there.[/quote]
