Rich, Classical Curriculum

At The Oaks, we’re redefining classical education. Your child will be known and loved while experiencing an excellent, Christ-centered education. Our proven curriculum creatively blends subjects and hands-on learning, creating an engaging school experience. With our focus on whole child development, students develop a love for learning while building strong habits for success in life.

An Integrated Approach

At every grade level, your child will study the humanities timeline. This classical approach teaches history, literature, art and music, geography, and biblical narratives in chronological order, allowing students to see how ideas and events connect over time. Instead of learning subjects separately, students study them together within historical contexts.

This approach helps students:

  • See the big picture – They understand how different events and ideas influence each other.
  • Make connections – They recognize themes and developments across subjects and time periods.
  • Think critically – They see how past ideas shape the world today
