Message from Barclay Mackinnon, Head Emeritus-Director of Admissions

Thank you for your interest in The Oliverian School. Whether you are interested in admissions or general information, we hope you find this site helpful.

At Oliverian we offer a college preparatory curriculum where students will be challenged in unique ways that will engage and inspire them. Young people will have the opportunity to explore ideas with a dedicated and talented faculty, and then put those ideas into practice as they move through projects of ever increasing complexity. Where else can a student prepare for college as they deal with critical issues of adolescence, while studying the history of baseball (examining issues such as integration, scandal, and commercialization), or designing a maple sugar shack (setting tap lines, boiling sap, devising a marketing plan, bottling, developing a distribution network, and following through on marketing)?

We hope that you'll take the time to learn more about us. We're confident that students who have struggled in more traditional academic environments will find the right blend of challenge and understanding at Oliverian.
