Learn About Veteran and Military Educational Benefits at Pacific Oaks College

Pacific Oaks College and Children’s School (PO) is proud to be a yellow ribbon school. It is a privilege for the institution to provide support for those who serve the country and in recognition; PO offers special tuition rates for active duty personnel or veterans of the U.S. Military and National Guard and their eligible dependents.

At Pacific Oaks, education is shaped by the collective voices and experiences of students and teachers. PO values military experience as an integral part of a collaborative learning environment, educating the Pacific Oaks community on the importance of dedicating one’s life to service for our country.

Pacific Oaks’ progressive education begins with a culture-centered approach to learning and teaching. The college defines itself as a community of learners and emphasizes the value placed on both human differences and commonalities. Students are encouraged to recognize and nurture the uniqueness and inherent potential that each brings to the table, and to use the diversity of experience, heredity, abilities, and perspective to create a community of mutual understanding and respect.

PO’s definition of culture is not limited to a single descriptive factor, but instead encompasses the full breadth of what makes each of us who we are: race, gender, language, religious beliefs, social status, sexual orientation, value systems, family patterns, education, and expectations for behavior and interacting. It is the process of helping each student maintain a sense of belonging within his or her inherent culture, while benefiting from an increasingly multicultural environment, that is fundamental to Pacific Oaks’ pedagogy.
