==History==
Margaret G. Shepherd founded Oakland in 1950 as a summer camp and remedial school called the Oakland Farm Camp & School and located on her family's farm. Shepherd offered a program that she had created, using phonics to teach reading and offering positive reinforcement to build students' self-esteem. In 1967 she expanded it to a year-round residential school program, and in 1968 the Virginia Board of Education certified the school as a private, non-profit learning disabilities school.〔(Oakland History ), Oakland School website, accessed January 5, 2009〕
Shepherd taught at Oakland School up to the time of her death at age 91. In 1974 her daughter, Joanne Dondero, succeeded her as school director, continuing in that role until 1993.〔
Carol Williams, who joined the school staff in 1978, is the school's current head of school.〔(Welcome message ), Oakland School website, accessed January 5, 2009〕
