History

Founded by Rosemary Moore in 1992 as the Village School, the school and mission grew until a major expansion in 2002 extended the curriculum to K4-12 and Oakbrook Preparatory School emerged. Thanks to others joining Mrs. Moore and inspiring others, the school grew while carrying on the original Charlotte Mason philosophy.
The 2001-2002 school year was a year of transition for the Village School as the school transformed into Oakbrook Preparatory School.
At the end of 2005, Oakbrook's founder, Rosemary Moore, retired and was given the honorary title of Director Emeritus. In 2010 Adair Hinds joined Oakbrook Prep as the third Head of School. After Advancement Director Kyle Boyles filled in as Interim Head of School in 2016-17, Dr. John H. Lindsell assumed the Head of School position beginning in the 2017-18 school year.
In 2012 Oakbrook Preparatory School's 33 acre campus completed a $3 million expansion including new Science Lab, Mac Computer Lab, Baseball Field, Soccer / Football Field and parking. In the summer of 2016, Oakbrook added additional classroom space, band facility and robotics lab. Oakbrook currently serves over 450 students.
