This article describes how the Oakland Community school was growing and changing in the beginning of the school year in 1976. Whereas before the school had offered eight levels of instruction, in 1976 the curriculum was expanded to 12 levels, so that instructors could deliver secondary education level classes.
This change was made in order to allow students to learn at the level and pace best suited to their needs. The article also emphasizes the popularity of the school, saying that there was a waiting list of 100 children, and that OCS was “one of the most influential educational institutions in the country.”
