The Oaks Academy offers competitive athletic teams for 5th – 8th grade students. Any Oaks student willing to attend consistently, work hard and do what he/she is supposed to do can participate in Oaks Athletics. 

While The Oaks does not cut participants based on ability, students will be divided into Conference and In-House teams.

Athletics for students in Pre-K to 4th grade are offered in the forms of clubs or in a partnership with Tab Rec.

The Oaks Academy participates in the Indianapolis Independent School League (IISL), in which our Junior Varsity (5th and 6th grades) and Varsity (7th and 8th grades) teams play. In-House teams participate in intramural leagues against other Oaks teams or local teams like Tab Rec.

The IISL is composed of 13 schools: The Oaks Academy, Mooresville Christian Academy, Park Tudor School, Sycamore School, Orchard School, Hasten Hebrew Academy, Bethesda Christian Academy, Traders Point Christian Academy, St. Richards Episcopal School, International School of Indiana, Kingsway Christian School, Indiana School for the Deaf, and Greenwood Christian Academy.

Oaks After 3 activities are available for Kindergarten to 8th grade students and change from season to season. Most activities are created and led by Oaks Academy faculty. Students are only limited by the clubs available at their campus and by the availability of when the club is held.

Clubs are designed around appropriate age groups that may combine up to 3 consecutive grade levels. A club theme may be available for more than 2 grade levels, but will be designed to fit the different age groups. For example, a Storytime Club may be offered on separate days for a Kindergarten group and 1st & 2nd grade combined group. 

Before Care is offered at the Lower Schools and Middle School campuses beginning at 7 am on regular and early dismissal school days. After Care is offered at the Early Ed Center until 5 pm and all other campuses until 6 pm on regular school days.

Full Day Care begins at 8 am and ends at 5 pm on select weekdays during the school year when classes are not in session.

Students in Before Care receive a breakfast snack and are given time for homework review or free play before they are refocused and sent to class when the drop-off window begins at their campus location.

Students in After Care receive an afternoon snack before enjoying unstructured play in the gymnasium, cafeteria, or outside before settling into homework. Students remaining until the end of After Care are given the opportunity to participate in an organized activity, ranging from nature studies to board games.

Full Day Care are a blend of Before and After Care with additional organized activities such as science labs and art projects. Students must bring their own lunch to eat on these days but do receive a morning and afternoon snack from the school. Students in Pre-K to Kindergarten take a nap after lunch and are allowed to bring a comfort item, as on normal school days.

Registration for Oaks Athletics, Oaks After 3, and Camp Oaks will occur throughout the school year as the sessions for each activity are approaching. Registration information will shared by the Oaks Plus team via email and will be available our Parent Portal when the time comes.

There is no registration needed to utilize Childcare. If your child is dropped off before the official start of the school day or remains in class after the school’s pickup window, they will automatically be signed in to Before or After Care. Parents may utilize Full Day Care for however long it is needed during the day (full day or drop-in) when it is offered. Students who are staying all day will need to bring their own lunch.

Pricing for all Oaks Plus offerings is determined by using an income-based sliding scale.

Fees for Athletics, Clubs, and Camps are set differently based on each activity. If you are eligible, a pricing tier discount will appear at the checkout stage of the registration process.

Fees for Childcare are billed to your account based on the intervals utilized. Families are notified at the beginning of the year with their hourly interval rate for Childcare.
