Summary: The Oxford Academy is unique in more ways than its hallmark of one-to-one instruction. Equally important is the structured schedule of class time interspersed with study time. The academic day is organized so that each student has one hour between every class. By completing homework directly after it is assigned, the student practices newly learned concepts and effective time management.

Summary: Positive peer interaction, cultural understanding, honesty, and respect for one another are integral to Oxford’s close-knit community atmosphere. Consistent and clear parameters promote accountability and personal responsibility, allowing Oxford students to focus on the goals of improving their academic and social skills. Free time may be spent socializing in the Walter and Joy Mitchell Student Center where students can play ping-pong, pool, or air hockey, relax in the Senior Lounge, watch movies and events on the big screen television, and enjoy video gaming stations. A short walk from the school will take students to nearby shops, restaurants, and beaches. Always available for use are the school’s three tennis courts, the gymnasium and soccer field. Clubs and other activities are organized each year according to student interests. Oxford’s Activities Director organizes trips to concerts, sporting events, and places of interest, as well as regular outings to the movies and local malls. Outdoor activities include skiing and snowboarding in Vermont, and kayaking and fishing on Long Island Sound. After fulfilling their commitments on Saturdays, students are permitted to travel home or visit friends and families.
