Our Mission
What We Stand For
OPA’s mission is to encourage students to think, analyze, understand, and apply the information taught. Knowledge is useless, if you don’t know how to apply it. It is the application that makes knowledge powerful.
About Us
OPA was created from the passion of our founder, Rosette Poole, who struggled for years to find a quality educational program that could accommodate her dyslexic son. By age ten, her son had attended four schools in five years. As a result, she developed a crusaders perspective, and decided to be the change she wanted to see in an academic program. As a result, she created a preeminent summer learning and enrichment program.
Mrs. Poole is a native of Jacksonville. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Bethune-Cookman College and a MBA from Nova Southeastern University. She is a loving, devoted wife to her husband, Leonard and mother to three amazing boys.
A Message From
Our Director
It is with great joy and excitement that I greet you as the Executive Director of Oxford Preparatory Academy. I am passionate about the development of children. If adults do not take time to instill values, self-worth, and knowledge in our youth, the history of our past will surely exceed the dreams of our future.
