College Prep
Experience
The Oaks Academy is a college prep school for 9-12th grade students. The Oaks is not the climax of a student's educational journey, but a preparation for studies and life to come.
​
Following the liberal arts tradition, students can expect excellence, scholarship, and rigor. However, our teachers understand that the most important part of an education is the formation and direction of students' hearts–teaching them to love what is good and helping them to grow in the virtues necessary to pursue goodness, truth, and beauty for the rest of their lives.
Vibrant
Campus Culture
We are building a campus that forms the whole student body and soul. A traditional five-day school schedule maximizes our four years together.
MON - FRI
8AM - 3PM
In a typical school week, students learn how to read, write, and problem solve. However, they also learn to bake, paint, and play music. They sit in traditional classrooms, receive Algebra lessons, and hear lectures on American history. But they also sing together, host tea-time bookclubs, and shoot potato cannons.
Classically-Minded Faculty
A classical education centers on the sacred relationship between teacher and student. The classroom is where the magic happens: students become who God is making them to be as they follow wise, thoughtful, and creative teachers in pursuit of what is good and true.
​
Our teachers provoke students to join the grand conversation, asking life's biggest questions and aiming not at mere information transfer but personal transformation.
The Classical
Tradition
Our God is a writer, which means we're meant to be readers and writers too. The classical tradition prizes the trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric for its ability to set students free to read, write, and think like God. Our Lord is also a Creator, and the quadrivium of arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy expands students’ minds to see and imitate his creativity in space and time.
