Enrollment

Enrollment Procedure

Oakwood School serves middle school and senior high school age students with learning and/or language disabilities with concomitant social or behavior issues. Child Study Teams (CST) from Monmouth, Ocean, Union and Middlesex counties are the referral source for our students. We do not accept private placements. Continued placement is reviewed annually and must be approved by the Oakwood School educational staff, the sending district's CST, and the student's parents or guardians.

Admission Policy

If you are interested in having your child attend Oakwood School we suggest that you contact your local Child Study Team and follow these procedures:

1. Ask your local school district to forward applicable records for review prior to an interview. Present at the interview should be members of the CST from the sending district, the student, and the student's parents or guardians.

2. During the initial interview the child will be evaluated to determine if Oakwood School is the appropriate educational setting. New student interviews are usually conducted after school hours, starting at 2:15PM. Parents and school districts are always afforded the opportunity to visit the school during school hours. Please call first and make an appointment.

3. Once placement is requested and approved by the sending district, they arrange transportation, provide an IEP, and enter into a New Jersey State Department of Education approved contract with the school.

4. Oakwood School does not discriminate. No student will be excluded from admission due to reasons of race, color, creed, sex or national origin.
