From birth to age six, children are sensorial explorers. And in this basic growth process, they examine every aspect of their environment, language, and culture. Around age six, we see them develop into reasoning explorers. New forms of abstraction and imagination are discovered as their very world expands. And during this time, it is our goal to help them marry the concepts of acting and thinking.

Five Oaks Academy will facilitate this learning process in three separate classroom environments. The first level of educating will be considered the Primary level - also known as the Acorns - and will consist of students ages 3-6. We will teach these explorers to learn by using all their senses. By joining touch, sight and sound together, learning becomes a natural process to them at this stage rather than a regimented activity that is forced upon their developing minds.

The Elementary level - or Oak Leaves at Five Oaks Academy - is broken into two age levels (Lower Elementary 4-6 and Upper Elementary 7-12).  As their thinking develops and matures, the method for learning does also. They learn by practical applications of real world problems. Plotting gardens quickly turns into a math lesson and the leaf hunt in the nature trail becomes a science lesson for the day. Lessons are linked closely together, making learning a whole experience rather than an isolated lesson.

All students will have the opportunity to broaden their learning experience at Five Oaks Academy. Each classroom curriculum will incorporate Spanish, Art, Music, and Physical Education programs, giving each student a well-rounded education. And volunteer work will be incorporated to give students a hands-on approach to community service.
