About Character Education
Our "excellence in education" continues to shine and flourish!
In February 2007, OIS was selected to receive a California School of Character award. This prestigious recognition honors our ongoing positive character development program. To recognize our efforts, the California Partnership for Character Education will present the OIS community with this state award on Wednesday, April 11th at 10:30am in our Isola Gym. Parents and community members are invited to attend this thirty-minute ceremony. Also recognized in this event will be our Others First program which will receive a proclamation from Orinda's honorable mayor, Steve Glazer for their ongoing commitment to community volunteerism.

Through our outstanding efforts in encouraging and promoting the ethical, social, and academic growth of students our Character Education program will be showcased. With our ongoing goal to have all our students mature into respectful, responsible, considerate and honest citizens, we continue to foster a conviction that OIS is more than just an academic institution.
We salute the dedicated work of our staff, students, parents and community members, and we ask you to share in our excitement as we open our doors and welcome our guests and dignitaries to OIS, the greatest school around!
