Oliverian School
Oliverian is a non-profit, alternative, college-prep boarding school for adolescents who have not thrived in traditional settings.
We fill the gap between traditional and therapeutic schools, providing the right mix of support and guided independence necessary for students to successfully find and occupy their place in the world.
This experiential approach embraces both successes and setbacks as learning opportunities, fostering resiliency, and preparing students for the emotional, social, and academic demands of college and beyond.
