An Internationally Accredited College Preparatory Program
Oak Meadow curriculum has enabled thousands of families to provide their children with a meaningful and creative college preparatory education. Our fully accredited program is built upon strong academic standards and encourages students to discover a life-long love of learning. Our courses have been carefully developed to reflect and reinforce our core educational principles.
Oak Meadow...
Encourages integrative thinking, participation in community activities, and exploration of the natural world.
Supports students in their quest for academic excellence by developing confidence in their own observations and opinions.
Fosters a healthy balance between academic accomplishment, intellectual development, and emotional engagement.
Respects students as intelligent and capable individuals who respond sensitively and creatively to the world in which they live.
Educating students with these ideals is the goal of the Oak Meadow High School curriculum, and one reason we are unique among home study and distance learning schools.

Homeschooling with Oak Meadow - Curriculum Only
- Our printed curriculum materials can be used by homeschooling families without enrollment in our distance learning school.
- Oak Meadow’s curriculum presents a complete course of study designed around 36 weekly lessons for a ten-month period of study, and provides an excellent foundation for independent learning.
- Our curriculum-only families can obtain teacher manuals and answer keys by calling our office and are connected to other Oak Meadow families through live Oak, our online community.
The Advantage of Oak Meadow’s Print-based Courses
- Printed course materials are portable and accessible in any environment, regardless of internet availability or computer equipment. Students traveling with their families, athletes awaiting a match, and performers waiting in the wings all have technology- free access to their studies.
- Our printed curriculum encourages personal involvement with the written word. Reading printed books encourages students to use active reading skills
such as writing margin notes, highlighting key phrases and vocabulary, and noting questions, thoughts, and personal responses.
- Current brain research shows that excessive “screen time” during adolescence promotes reduced attention span, lower executive functioning skills, and impaired relationships with parents and peers. There are also concerns about the physical effects of long-term computer usage in childhood.
- The printed materials are yours to keep forever, and can be an important resource to refer back to as the student’s skills and knowledge grows.
We offer a full range of Advanced Placement courses that are available online both to our enrolled students and as single supplementary courses. These include: Art History, Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Computer Science, English Language, English Literature, Environmental Science, European History, Macroeconomics, Physics, Psychology, Spanish Language, Statistics, US Government, US History, and World History.
We also offer a comprehensive selection of online technology courses, such as Computer Fundamentals, Game Design, Flash Animation, Digital Photography, Java Scripting, Web Design, Computer Programming (C++, VB.net) and Digital Video Production.
