Integration
Northern Ireland is viewed as a divided place, a country where adults and children can be separated on religious, social and political grounds. Oakgrove, and other integrated institutions like it have been used in the country to try to offer a middle ground for parents who want their children to learn in a safe, and unbiased environment.
The foundations at Oakgrove are based on the ethos that everyone is equal and has the right not to be discriminated against in any way, particularly with regard to religious or cultural identity, gender or ability. The college aims to do this by developing the self-esteem of each member of the school's community. This underpins both the academic and the social education of the students.
