Oakbrook follows the mission: Built on a foundation of Christian faith, Oakbrook Preparatory School educates students to be independent learners in a changing world. Oakbrook is accredited by AdvancEd, Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, and the South Carolina Association of Independent Schools. Rosemary Moore founded the Village School in 1992 based on the work of the British educator Charlotte Mason. Mrs. Moore desired to create a school where students would engage directly with nature and the classics in literature, art, and music. Since its founding, the school has grown to become Oakbrook Prep, a rigorous college preparatory school with an international emphasis on a beautiful 38 acre campus in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Oakbrook families represent more than 40 countries by birth or nationality. Students participate in international travel, missions, and exchange programs with Germany, China, and Spanish-speaking countries. The curriculum pace at Oakbrook is accelerated. Students are one year ahead in several subjects. Students typically begin earning high school credits in 8th grade and may begin taking AP classes in 9th grade. Students are taught to be responsible citizens where self-discipline is promoted over a discipline policy. Each year students sign the honor code and pledge to honor academic and personal integrity and uphold the values of honesty, integrity, respect, and responsibility. Oakbrook promotes the following five core values: academic excellence, creativity, community, cultural diversity, and character.
