Out-Of-Door Academy

We have attended the school for the last 3 years and cannot say enough good things about it. The teachers are phenomenal, and everyone at the school is very welcoming - it definitely feels more like a second home than a school.

Our daughter graduated from ODA in 2008 and was immediately accepted at Hofstra University in NY including over 8K annually in scholarship support. Their comment at Hofstra was that she "was the caliber of student that they go out of their way for." We clearly noticed that they not only knew of ODA but respected the level of academics and well rounded education offered there. She fit right in at Hofstra and is enjoying her junior year right now.

Excellent. Even if you are moving from the Northeast US area, it's excellent. We moved down from Philly (excellent schools). Equal or better.

It is magical. Parents, teachers, & students are one big family.

Good school, but has its quirks. About 2/3 of the teachers are great. Administration is fair.

Prepare to be enchanted by the natural beauty, history, and greening of Out-of-Door's campuses, and then marvel at the visionary developments taking place school-wide in facilities, curriculum, culture, and college counseling. Visiting from the northeast, we felt as if we'd stumbled on an incredible secret, marveling at what appeared to be a utopian environment for educating children. Our instincts were excellent 5 years ago, as this school's administrative leadership is unparalleled, the faculty and staff are skilled, devoted, and treasured, the parents are supportive and engaged, and the students are provided with excellent standards for personal growth in intellect, character, physical well-being, the arts, competitive sports, leadership, service, and unique personal endeavors. With two children graduating from their respective campuses in May, we are filled with gratitude. An Out-of-Door Academy education is the gift of a lifetime, and we're so glad we didn't let it pass us by.
