"As our son tells us, Bending Oaks 'is the best school in the whole world.' Everything about the school works for him. He is getting a better education than he was receiving in the public school. The smaller class size and school atmosphere make it work for him. We get to visit with each one of his teachers in person every six weeks. The administrator is always available to speak with us when we call. We are so glad we found Bending Oaks High School!" - from GreatSchools.com

Admissions

Bending Oaks School was founded in 1985 by a group of teachers who wanted to create a learning environment in which students would look forward to going to class, get more personal attention, achieve higher grades, and interact with other students.

The school was designed for limited enrollment, with a student/teacher ratio of about eight students per class. The small class size ensures the availability of the teacher’s assistance without sacrificing the sharing of ideas in the classroom. read more...

Accreditation

When choosing a school accreditation plays an important part in your decision making process. Bending Oaks is Accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and has been since we were founded in the 1985-86 school year. 

Southern Association accredits some of the finest colleges and schools in the Southwest. Accreditation by Southern Association ensures that course credit given by Bending Oaks High School will be accepted by all schools and colleges across the United States.

"As a delightful but somewhat 'quirky' child, my daughter struggled socially in public junior high. Bending Oaks has a warm and accepting ethos that has contributed greatly to her increased self-confidence this year. She is more comfortable in her own skin than we have ever seen her; that is a priceless gift that she receives daily from Bending Oaks." - from GreatSchools.com

Late Enrollment Accepted

At Bending Oaks School we offer late enrollment. If a student has fallen behind, or is just not suited to a particular program, we may be able to help. Our smaller classes enable the teacher in this situation extra time so that the student can get caught up. Contact the school to discuss your situation.
