At The Oaks we believe that students’ families are the first and most enduring teachers of their children, and the school comes alongside them not to replace that calling, but to fortify it. Education is deepest when home and school speak with a shared love for God’s truth, goodness, and beauty, and when both remember that the child before them belongs first to God.
The work, then, is certainly academic. But it does not end here; it is the forming of a whole life, undertaken together in faith, patience, and hope.
Our Families
Students read the Bible at home with families and memorize school-wide Scripture passages in a four-year cycle through the Bible. On campus, they attend Campus Convocation weekly, with All School Convocation taking place once a quarter. Our Heart-Soul-Mind-Strength Discipleship program cultivates the love of God with our whole selves through believing and beholding Christ in His Word and His works. It guides students through the application of Scriptural truth toward the outward expression of love for neighbors.
We know humans are made for - and grow - in community. Our Family and Student Ministry programs are designed to cultivate formative connections, joy and affection, and the love of truth, goodness, and beauty in community.
