Student Body and Life
About 60 percent of students at Oxbow have come from public schools, 40 percent from private schools. They have been divided about equally between students from California and students from all over the rest of the country. Some have had plenty of experience living away from home; for others, this is their first time. Some are already accomplished artists; some have never before made a painting or sculpture. Some want to pursue art, design, architecture, film, photography, and the computer as a career. Others are still open and searching. Some are athletes, musicians, writers; others are artists, thinkers, tinkerers and creators. Some love to hang out with friends; others prefer a more solitary life.
The Oxbow School is many students' first and only chance to live independently before college. Therefore, the person who first enters the school is often not the person faculty and other students will recognize by the conclusion of the program.

Famous quotes containing the words student, body and/or life:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“A graceful bearing is to the body what good sense is to the mind.”
—Francois Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Spring weather is life a child’s face, changing three times a day.”
—Chinese proverb.
