Residential Residential Oakland's residential program includes approximately 60 students and is designed to enhance each child's personal growth and happiness. Dorm life is carefully planned to provide the structure, consistency, and emotional support that every child needs.
Every effort is made to create an atmosphere of safety and family life.
A carefully trained residential staff live in the dormitories and act as dorm parents as well as planning athletic and recreational events and trips, and working with each student on individual social and emotional goals. Weekend excursions consist of a variety of local outings to the surrounding areas of Charlottesville, Richmond, The University of Virginia, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The rural setting of Oakland provides a safe, tranquil atmosphere, and offers a wide variety of seasonal recreational opportunities, as well as team sports. On the grounds there are tennis courts, a driving range, a swimming pool, a stable and riding ring, and a large gym and recreation building. The year round riding program is open to students at no additional cost.
