A Message from Our Head of School

We understand that many in our community may be facing stress and financial uncertainty due to changes at federal agencies and shifts in other job sectors. These challenges can make decisions about independent school enrollment feel especially complex. At OFS, we want to reassure our families that we are here to support you. We never want financial concerns to be the sole reason a family has to leave our school, and we recognize that some families may feel uncertain about re-enrollment due to job instability.

If you are experiencing financial stress, please reach out for a confidential conversation. We are here to listen, understand your situation, and explore possible solutions. Our community is strong, and together we can navigate these challenges.
