OAKWOOD

As a parent, I know you have many questions as you seek the best education for your child. So please explore the web site, call, or email. But above all, I invite you to visit us. At Oakwood, everything we do reflects the educational philosophy that our founder set forth more than fifty years ago: a more intentional education that shapes the growth of confident, vivid, thoughtful, high-achieving young people, fully prepared for the top colleges in the nation and life beyond... Our story began in 1959, when Gwen Riches, an educator and artist, gathered her children and their friends for an afterschool arts program in her Los Altos home. As the children happily played, practiced, created, and performed, word began to spread. Mrs. Riches and her husband welcomed more and more children, eventually expanding the circle to hundreds of students. The Riches' family home became Pinewood School, which still thrives today in Los Altos... Founded and managed by Gwen Riches' eldest granddaughter..
