The Oak Hill Difference

BUILT
DIFFERENT
SINCE 1878

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Oak Hill Academy is not just a school — it's a proving ground. For nearly 150 years, we've combined rigorous academics with elite athletic development to create a model that has no equal.

Our basketball program has sent more players to the NBA than any other high school. But what makes Oak Hill special isn't just the talent — it's the system. A culture of discipline, brotherhood, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
