Oakbrook Announces Transformational Campus Expansion

A bold new chapter is beginning at Oakbrook Preparatory School.
This summer, construction will officially begin on a 30,000+ square-foot Preschool and Lower School building — a transformative project that reflects both vision and deep-rooted commitment to the future of Oakbrook.
Made possible through the biblical generosity of one Oakbrook family, this expansion marks a defining moment in our history. Their heart is simple: invest in the next generation and ignite a legacy that will endure for decades to come.


Built to Ignite Young Minds
Purpose-built for early learners, the new Preschool and Lower School facility has been thoughtfully designed to elevate the Oakbrook experience from the very first day of school. The 30,000+ square-foot building will feature:
- Spacious, light-filled classrooms tailored to preschool and elementary students
- Dedicated STEM innovation spaces for hands-on exploration and discovery
- Multipurpose rooms to support enrichment, collaboration, and creativity
- An enclosed central courtyard providing a secure and welcoming outdoor gathering space
- Flex spaces for student performances, presentations, and community events
- Enhanced safety features and improved traffic flow for families
Every element of the design supports academic excellence while nurturing spiritual growth, curiosity, and confidence in our youngest Knights.


Expanding Opportunities Across Campus
The momentum does not stop with academics. In addition to the new building, Oakbrook will develop a new outdoor athletic complex that further strengthens our commitment to developing the whole child. The plans include an eight-lane competition track, a full turf field designed for football, soccer, and multi-sport use, dedicated tennis courts, and pickleball courts, creating expanded opportunities for both student-athletes and the broader Oakbrook community.
These additions will expand training opportunities, enhance competitive experiences, and create new spaces for community engagement.

Rooted in History. Built for the Future.
This moment is about more than construction. It is about honoring the generations who have walked these halls while boldly preparing for those still to come. It reflects faith in Oakbrook’s mission and confidence in the impact of Christ-centered education.
As construction begins this summer, we look ahead with anticipation to the day when students fill these classrooms, explore new STEM labs, gather in the courtyard, and compete on the track — growing not only in knowledge and skill, but in character and faith.
