Oakwood is a Seventh Day Adventists school. That means that the administration is affiliated with the Seventh Day Adventists faith. Classes may be designed with religious principles in mind, or some schools may even incorporate prayer into their schedule. Other schools with a religious affiliation may not be as active in their incorporation of the faith. It's a good idea to ask an admissions officer or current student what role faith has at Oakwood to help you make an educated decision.
