About
Why Choose Oak Forest Academy?
Oak Forest Academy is a new kind of preschool that combines proven approaches to early education with innovative ideas designed to improve the experience for students, teachers, and parents.
We are driven by a love for kids and the teachers who invest their time and energy helping those kids build a foundation for meaningful and impactful lives. We believe we can improve the early education system for both children and teachers, and by doing so, we can have a positive impact on not only those individuals, but also on their current communities and the communities they will serve in the future.
Our Mission & Philosophy
At Oak Forest Academy, our mission is to prepare young learners for a lifetime of success by providing them with positive experiences to foster their academic, social, and emotional development. We believe that success means not only achieving as an individual, but also leaving a positive and lasting impression on the world around us. We will accomplish this mission by incorporating a unique blend of academic and play-based curriculums that are child-centered, inquiry-based and open-ended to foster the knowledge required for success. This approach will leverage the unique ways in which our children learn and experience the world, while providing them with the skills they need to achieve at the next academic level and beyond. When combined with a fun, nurturing, and loving environment created by our teachers and staff, we believe young children can have fun and excel academically, while at the same time develop good character and learn positive values such as honesty, integrity, and empathy.
