The mission of Oakton Elementary School is to create a safe, caring, nurturing, and excellent academic environment that supports students in achieving their full potential. The Oakton community strives to honor diversity through social, emotional, and cultural growth of our students. The learning environment stimulates the development of positive attitudes, promotes intellectual curiosity, fosters independent thinking, and encourages academic achievement.

Oakton provides a challenging, inclusive educational program that incorporates technology and embodies an integrated curriculum to meet the individual and collective needs of all children during the 21st century. This will be achieved through the collaborative efforts of community members, staff and students. Students are responsible for the actions as learners and contributing citizens.
