- Oak Meadow Parent
Because young children learn naturally through imitation and action, our elementary, or kindergarten through grade 4, curriculum features lots of healthy activity and movement. We provide lessons rich in experiential learning, actively engaging the student’s mind, body, and imagination. Your children will experience a multisensory education as they explore letters, numbers, color, song, rhythm, and verse while learning about themselves and the world around them.
This option is for families who want to purchase our curriculum and homeschool independently. Flexibility is written into the lesson plans, so you may pick and choose assignments to appeal to your student’s interests and skill level, and schedule your homeschool days to fit your family’s lifestyle.
This option is for families who want the structure and guidance provided through enrollment in our accredited distance learning school. Working at home, the parent is the primary teacher in the early grades, and the Oak Meadow teacher supports the parent in the teaching process.
Our Preschool curriculum is creative and imaginative, and introduces your family to the fundamental principles of learning. You and your child will engage in morning circle activities, singing, fingerplay, sand and water play, nature walks, bedtime rituals, and storytelling as you establish rhythms for learning that will benefit your child throughout the schooling years. (Note: Enrollment option is not available for Pre-K.)
