Kindergarten through 6th Grade at Living Oaks Academy

At Living Oaks Academy, our Kindergarten through 6th Grade program is designed to provide a strong educational foundation while fostering a love for learning in a nurturing, Christ-centered environment. We emphasize hands-on experiences, collaborative projects, and individualized instruction to help students grow academically, socially, and spiritually.

A Foundation for Lifelong Learning

We believe that early childhood and elementary education should be engaging, meaningful, and tailored to each child’s developmental stage. Our curriculum integrates core academic subjects with creative exploration, problem-solving, and faith-based instruction. By fostering curiosity and encouraging students to take ownership of their learning, we prepare them for success in middle school and beyond.

Curriculum Overview

Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

In these foundational years, we focus on developing literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills through play-based and hands-on learning activities. Small class sizes ensure that each child receives personalized attention, and our teachers use multi-sensory approaches to cater to different learning styles. Key focus areas include:

  • Phonics and early reading skills to build strong literacy foundations
  • Basic math concepts such as counting, addition, and subtraction
  • Science exploration through nature studies and simple experiments
  • Social studies focusing on community, history, and cultural awareness
  • Fine arts and music to encourage creativity and expression

3rd – 4th Grade

As students grow, they transition into more structured learning experiences while continuing to engage in hands-on, project-based learning. They begin to develop critical thinking skills, independence, and collaboration abilities. Our curriculum at this stage includes:

  • Expanding literacy skills with comprehension strategies and writing development
  • Mathematical problem-solving involving multiplication, division, and fractions
  • Science investigations using experiments and STEM activities
  • History and geography through interactive projects and storytelling
  • Public speaking and presentation skills to build confidence
  • Biblical studies integrated with daily lessons to strengthen faith and character

5th – 6th Grade

K5-6th grades are divided by ability into Pods. Students work closely with teachers in small groups and one on one to continue to grow academically. This allows us to slow down the work for students with disabilities and push the gifted students that need more challenge.

Students at this level engage in deeper inquiry and independent learning while preparing for middle school challenges. Our program encourages leadership, responsibility, and a growth mindset. Core academic and enrichment subjects include:

  • Advanced reading comprehension with analysis of literature and nonfiction texts
  • Mathematical reasoning covering pre-algebra concepts and problem-solving techniques
  • Scientific inquiry involving hands-on experiments and research projects
  • U.S. and world history studies with interactive discussions and critical analysis
  • Technology integration through presentations and digital research
  • Character development and leadership training rooted in Christian principles

Faith-Based Learning

At Living Oaks Academy, the truth of Jesus is the heart of everything we do.  Our family environment teaches kindness, integrity, and excellence.  Each day, we intentionally engage students in various forms of worship through music, dance, God’s word, and prayer to allow students to experience His love and His presence to develop a personal, life changing faith.

Enrichment Programs and Extracurricular Activities

We integrate art, music, PE, STEM, Field Trips, and Outdoor Learning into our normal curriculum that everyone participates in.:

  • Art and Music to foster creativity and self-expression
  • Physical Education to promote healthy lifestyles and teamwork
  • STEM for hands-on engineering and problem-solving
  • Community Service Projects that instill compassion and civic responsibility
  • Field Trips and Outdoor Learning to connect classroom lessons with real-world experiences

Small Class Sizes and Personalized Instruction

One of the key benefits of attending Living Oaks Academy is our commitment to small class sizes. This allows teachers to tailor instruction to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring that every child feels supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Preparing for the Future

to nurture curiosity, develop creativity, build academic excellence, and develop a heart for Jesus.  By creating a space where students enjoy the learning process, establish a strong academic foundation, and learn to believe that God loves them and placed the ability to create inside of them, we empower students to live with joy, confidence, and integrity.
