About Us

---

Oakview Preparatory School is a Seventh-Day Adventist Institution consisting of two Divisions:  Elementary (Pre-K – 5) and Junior High (6-8). The school is a part of the worldwide system of Christian Education operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 

In the Adventist education system, students of other religious beliefs are welcome.  Seventh-day Adventists believe in great schools because they know that getting a well-rounded Christian education is a wonderful way to fall in love with Jesus and prepare for a life of service. 

The Education Department oversees the international Adventist network of 9,489 schools, colleges and universities, with 111,360 teachers and 2,044,709 students in 115 countries. The department promotes this huge network of schools. It also provides quality control to make sure Adventist educational institutions surpass expectations and provide a great start to the lives of students. 

Oakview Preparatory School was established in 1991 by a group of Educators (Bronx, Westchester Education Committee).  The founders' purpose was to provide quality Christian education for students from the ten participating churches in the Bronx-Westchester area.

 Non- participating members may also be admitted. Its goal is to foster moral, Christ-like character, promote academic excellence, and prepare its students for service to God and their fellowman. The institution maintains a non-discriminatory policy and includes students from any religious, racial, or ethnic background. Students are required to abide by the policies and principles of the School.

Teachers at The Oakview Preparatory School are the Living Curriculum; they teach not only academic subjects, but their lives also teach students how to be Christ-followers, relationship builders, effective communicators, supportive team-partners, and advocates for others. 

Though our teachers come in all different shapes and sizes, have varied backgrounds and experiences, and possess unique personality types, they have certain identifiable beliefs and qualities that set them apart.

Besides our exemplary teachers, The Oakview Preparatory School is also blessed with other qualities necessary to be a great school:

• A modern, secure campus with state-of-the-art infrastructure supporting the latest in learning environment technology
• A rounded academic curriculum
