Oakland Avenue Charter School
Deborah Bishop-Karney: OACS is MY school of choice... both as an educator and as a parent! OACS will be celebrating its tenth year in existence next year... a great success! The strength of our school is directly related to the support from our town, the active involvement of or parents, and the "can do" attitude of our children. Driving 200 miles per week is a small sacrifice I make to enable my son's quality educational experience and my fabulous teaching experience here.
