What's NewParent Testimonials: Our Oakbury Journey 

“When we first enrolled our children at Oakbury, we had no idea just how life-changing the experience would be for our family.”

Our older son, Weiyi, once timid and anxious about school, has blossomed into a confident, curious learner. With the patient guidance of his teachers, he now embraces learning with joy, asks thoughtful questions, and even shows kindness and leadership—especially toward his younger brother. His reading and comprehension have taken off; he now reads independently for pleasure and often surprises us with how he connects ideas, especially in science. Math, once intimidating, has become exciting through the clever strategies Oakbury uses to introduce concepts like multiplication.

Our younger son, Weibin, has also grown in ways we couldn’t have imagined. From a shy performer, he has found his voice and confidence—volunteering to stand up in front of others and proudly participating. His phonics skills have improved tremendously thanks to Oakbury’s systematic approach, and he even enjoys “teaching” us at home when he catches us making mistakes.

What makes Oakbury so special is not just the academics—it’s the heart. The teachers create a safe, nurturing space where our children feel free to show their emotions without shame, while also learning how to regulate and express themselves constructively. We deeply value the compassion, patience, and individual attention given to each child. The school has found the perfect balance: preparing children academically while instilling a genuine love for learning—never through pressure, but through joy, creativity, and fun.

We’ve also been impressed by the clean, safe environment and the incredible effort that goes into even the “small” things—like the ever-changing menu of healthy, delicious meals that our kids look forward to each week.

Some memories will stay with us forever: Weiyi’s graduation speech, which he proudly delivered on stage, and Weibin dancing and singing with joy alongside his friends. Those moments captured everything Oakbury stands for: growth, confidence, and love.

 

“We recommend Oakbury wholeheartedly to any parent looking for a place where children don’t just study, but truly thrive. Our children fell in love with this school from the start, and we can say with complete confidence—it’s a decision you’ll never regret.”
