GROWING A WISE AND VIRTUOUS GENERATION.
Welcome to The Oaks Academy.
The Oaks Academy aims to transform generations through Christ-centered, classical education, cultivating wisdom and virtue, and yielding lives marked by the display of God's splendor.
YIELDING A FRUITFUL RETURN.
IMPACTING A GENERATION:
Planting The Oaks Academy will provide children from our region an education that not only builds their intellect but matures their character and faith, as well. This is critical to their success in life, but more importantly, to the conviction that leads them to take their place in advancing God’s work. We envision generations of Hancock County youth rising up, not led by this world, but rather who become leaders in our world.
Classical Christian education (CCE) is a proven path to this end. CCE focuses on growing knowledgeable, wise, and mature students who joyfully join Jesus in His work bringing restoration to the world. The rigorous curriculum hones minds that discern truth and hearts that are drawn to what is good and beautiful. This approach bears the fruit of eloquent followers of Jesus who are equipped to live a compelling counter-narrative that faithfully proclaims God’s truth while compassionately exhibiting His Spirit.
"They will be called oaks of righteousness,
A planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor.”
Isaiah 61:3
THE VIEWS OF THE OAKS
Focusing on transformation promotes engagement.
“Education is about soul formation, not just information. And this formation builds a culture. It is a transfer of a way of life."
-G.K. Chesterton
JESUS CHRIST IS OUR SOURCE
Jesus Christ is the Truth and the source of all truth (John 14:6); objective truth can be known and discovered and is
consistent with His Word (John 17:17). Objective Goodness and Beauty do exist and point us to God.
SOUL TRANSFORMATION
Education is about soul transformation and cultural transfer; creating strong-spirited individuals of character who love God and neighbors. It is the foundation for cultivating wisdom, inspiring lifelong learning, and equipping individuals to serve their communities with integrity and purpose.
ENGAGED PARENTS & STUDENTS
We believe Parents are responsible for their children’s education and are informed and engaged partners. Since the use of screens, especially in lower grades, is infrequent, students readily engage with peers, teachers, books, hands-on materials, and class ideas.
God Is Our Strength.
