The Oaks Approach

Our Academic Program

Oaks Academy offers a powerhouse day of learning to build momentum for your student’s whole week.

At Oaks Academy, we believe the most impactful education happens when a classroom experience meets the intentionality of the home. We offer a powerhouse day of learning designed to spark curiosity, provide structure, and build momentum for your student's entire week.

Mondays at Oaks

Every Monday, our TK–12th grade students engage in a full, focused day of instruction in Literature & Writing, Science, and Social Studies. Our teachers don't just lecture; they ignite the learning process through:

  • Deep Exploration: Socratic discussions and hands-on labs.

  • Skill Building: Direct writing instruction and collaborative projects.

  • Leadership: Frequent opportunities for students to present and find their voice.

Tuesday-Friday

As the primary educator, you carry the torch home.

  • Guided Instruction: We provide comprehensive weekly plans to ensure a vibrant, well-rounded academic experience.

  • The Commitment: Your faithfulness in executing these lessons Tuesday through Friday is what allows our Mondays to be so rich. When students arrive prepared, they aren't just attending a class—they are contributing to a community of scholars.

We provide the roadmap and the spark; you provide the steady flame at home. Together, we ensure your student doesn’t just learn, but thrives.

  • Explorers

    (Kinder Prep)

    Planting seeds of the Gospel through play and discovery.

    Our Explorers program welcomes children ages 4-5 into a gentle, joyful introduction to learning. Each day invites students into rich experiences through stories, songs, sensory play, and hands-on discovery.

    To participate in the Explorer’s programs, students need to be potty trained, able to sit in a desk for an extended period of time, able to listen well to teachers, all of which builds Kinder readiness through structured play, movement, and intentional rhythms. Students are guided in developing the habits and heart posture that prepare them to thrive in future learning.

  • Foundations

    (K-4th Grades)

    Laying strong roots in truth and wonder.

    Foundations is where students learn how to be students: building attention, curiosity, perseverance, and strong classroom habits. Through engaging, hands-on teaching in Literature & Writing, Science, and Social Studies, we help children grow in both skill and confidence.

    Students may choose between two options:
    Core Path (Half Day): Core academics in the morning, dismissal after lunch.
    Full Day Path: Core academics plus afternoon electives for students who want a longer day of guided learning.

  • Heritage

    (5-8th Grades)

    Learning to reason, reflect, and respond.

    The Heritage program is where students begin to explore deeper ideas, develop critical thinking skills, and engage in meaningful conversations. Instruction continues in Literature & Writing, Science, and Social Studies, with an emphasis on discussion, projects, and collaborative learning.

    Enrichment Classes: Heritage students rotate through a variety of Enrichment classes such as project-based learning, music, speech & debate, art, and Biblical studies - offering opportunities to explore both interests and gifts in a supportive, Christ-centered environment.

  • Legacy

    (9-12th Grades)

    Rooted in God’s Word. Ready for wherever God leads.

    Our Legacy program equips high school students with the tools to think biblically, reason clearly, and communicate effectively. With small class sizes and discussion-based instruction, students are challenged to grow intellectually, spiritually, and personally. Courses in the core subjects are taught with academic rigor and a Gospel-centered focus.

    Enrichment Classes: Enrichment classes provide space to pursue theology, creative writing, leadership, project-based learning, art, and entrepreneurship - helping students connect their learning to real-world purpose and God-honoring direction.
