About Us - Elementary School Experience
In our elementary years, children master the basics of reading and math through extended blocks of time devoted to these subjects. Students learn through a combination of interactive centers and small group instruction with their teachers. Children enjoy multiple breaks throughout the day with much time spent outside between classes. Children benefit from the security of teachers that see their strengths and look for ways for them to shine. Children experience multiple field trips with welcomed parental involvement. Children thrive with worry free afternoons after school, having time to explore the outdoors, extracurriculars and gathering around the dinner table with family in the evenings. The gift of time from the four day week provides space for students to develop their own strengths without the fast paced demands of a typical school setting.
The Oaks received full accreditation through Cognia (formerly SACS) and the Alabama Independent School Association.
