Dr. Maria Montessori was a visionary and inspirational leader ahead of her time. She believed in the natural curiosity of children and provided a method to nurture that curiosity by bringing out the explorer in them. By doing this, Dr. Montessori showed us how to educate the individual by nurturing these creative, curious and gifted thinkers.

The Montessori method of education is a model that serves the needs of children of all levels of mental and physical ability as they live and learn in a natural, mixed-age group. It allows children to discover, not only from the instructors and specially designed materials, but from playing and learning from one another as well. This builds confidence, trust and socialization skills that will be necessary for them to adapt in the world as they grow.

Five Oaks Academy, Inc. is no different. We embrace the idea that the ultimate learning environment is warm and relaxed and laced with love – a balance of freedom coupled with a sense of order and self-discipline. It is our mission to provide children with exactly such an environment which, in turn, will inspire them to learn.
