Oakland Normal Institute was a private academy in Yale, Mississippi, that provided students a classical education in art and Latin, as well as education and business courses.

[1] It was established in 1887, and remained open until 1904, when it became a county school.

The Oakland School, serving grades 1 through 8, was closed in 1954.

In the 1950s a historic marker was erected at the school site, by former alumni of the Oakland Normal Institute.

[2] Notable alumni include T. Jeff Busby, a U.S. Representative from Mississippi,[3] and John Breckinridge, a U.S. Attorney General.
