Student Services

These years set the stage for the years to come, and a great set-up requires careful planning. Whatever you want to do, learn, or be, let our school counselors be your go-to resource for everything from high school course selection to scholarship searching and all the steps required in between.

Graduation Requirements

We require our students to follow a rigorous academic path that we developed to meet the expectations of many colleges and universities in North Carolina. Every student must successfully earn credits as follows:

  • 4 Math
  • 4 English
  • 4 Social Studies
  • 4 Science
  • 3 Foreign Language (all in the same language)

Students must take at least one college level class (AP or dual enrollment), complete at least 60 service hours in the local community, and complete a capstone project. Students following our Scholars track must complete a minimum of five AP courses.

Fine Arts Capstone Graduation Project

We require every student to complete a publicly presented capstone project. This culminating project assures that our students have acquired the skills to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information and communicate significant knowledge and understanding.

This project promotes an authentic opportunity for students to direct their own learning through research, self-reflection, presentation, and an appreciation for the arts. To allow for differences in interest, aptitude, and learning style, students may select their own topic related to community service, academic research, job-shadowing/internships, or an area of personal interest. The fine arts connectivity can be through the topic itself or be fulfilled in the product creation portion.

Senior Seminar

We require all senior students to take the Senior Seminar course where they receive support with college, scholarship, and financial aid applications.

Success Seminar Grades 6–8

Our Success Seminar courses helps students transition to our school and expectations.

College Visits

Visiting college campuses gives our students a chance to envision themselves living the campus life as they absorb the culture, discover opportunities, and learn the admission requirements. Our seventh, eighth, and ninth graders visit two campuses during the school year, and students in the tenth through twelfth grades are invited to visit colleges across the state on three overnight trips each school year.

Title IX

Title IX of the education amendments of 1972 protects individuals from discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity operated by recipients of federal financial assistance. Sexual harassment, which includes acts of sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX. Oxford Preparatory School (OPS) does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the employment, education programs, or activities it operates.

OPS is committed to providing an environment free from discrimination based on sex and provides a number of resources and services to assist students, faculty, and staff in addressing issues involving sex discrimination, including sexual violence.

Sexual violence, sexual harassment, stalking, and relationship violence have a profound impact on a victim’s academic, social, working, and personal life and negatively affects victims’ friends and families, other students, co-workers, and members of the university community. To combat this complex social problem, OPS provides resources and educational programs designed to prevent sexual violence and other acts of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, provide information about what to do when an incident has occurred, and increase awareness of campus and community resources for support and response.

Victims of sexual violence, sexual harassment, stalking, and relationship violence are encouraged to seek support and report the incident. OPS has appointed a Title IX coordinator, Jade Gingue, to oversee OPS response to Title IX complaints, develop training and education programs/materials for faculty, staff, and students, as well as monitor trends and effectiveness of Title IX education efforts.

Inquiries concerning the application of Title IX may be referred to the Title IX coordinator, Jade Gingue, or to the United States Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights.
