Schools With an abundance of daycare centers, pre-schools, public and private elementary schools, middle schools, Fenwick and Oak Park and River Forest High Schools, Oak Park has a curriculum that prepares children for life. The force behind our schools is a community that sees education as a shared responsibility --parents who are as involved in the schools as they are in their own children's educational development, teachers who go beyond the basics to inspire, thriving on the academic achievements of their students, and businesses and professional organizations readily volunteering their time and resources, launching programs that give students learning opportunities outside of the classroom. The result is a commitment - Village-wide - to educational excellence. All residents of Oak Park benefit by being part of a community that has the vision to take the lead and the strength to make educational opportunities happen for anyone who wants them.
