President’s Welcome
Welcome from Mr. Micah Kurtz

Welcome to Oak Hill Academy, nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. It is my honor to introduce you to our vibrant and supportive community, where we are dedicated to supporting the academic, social, and personal growth of every student.
At Oak Hill Academy, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive college-preparatory education. This is supported by our cutting edge Applied Learning Skills Center, designed to meet each student where they are. This innovative center provides personalized support and resources to help students overcome academic challenges and enhance their learning strategies. By focusing on individual strengths and areas for growth, we ensure that every student can achieve their full potential.
Our picturesque campus is not just a place for learning, but a home where students from diverse backgrounds come together to form lifelong bonds. With a faculty of dedicated professionals, we provide a supportive and enriching environment that fosters both academic excellence and personal development.
Our commitment to small class sizes ensures that each student receives personalized attention, allowing them to thrive academically and personally. Beyond the classroom, our extensive range of extracurricular activities, including but not limited to our esteemed Lenore Equestrian Center, numerous outdoor clubs and our nine time High School National Championship basketball team, provides opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build character.
One of the hallmarks of Oak Hill Academy is our emphasis on community. Here, students learn the value of mutual respect, responsibility, and the importance of contributing to a supportive environment. Whether it’s sharing a meal with friends from around the globe in our dining hall, participating in community service projects, or engaging in spirited athletic competitions, our students learn what it means to be part of something larger than themselves.
Our faculty and staff live on campus and are fully invested in the lives of our students. This close-knit community ensures that every student is known, valued, and supported. We believe that education is not only about intellectual growth but also about developing integrity, compassion, and resilience.
I invite you to explore Oak Hill Academy and see for yourself the unique blend of tradition and innovation that defines us. We are proud of our history and excited about our future. When you become part of the Oak Hill family, you’ll find opportunities to grow in every aspect of your life.
Thank you for considering Oak Hill Academy. I look forward to welcoming you to our community.
Go Warriors!
