The Oaks School is an intimate learning center in the heart of historic Hollywood. Since its founding in 1986, The Oaks continues to be a vibrant, creative community where mutual respect and compassion for one another go hand-in-hand with stimulating intellectual pursuits. Our philosophy is founded on the belief that we create the best learning opportunities when children are able to share in the responsibility for their own education, and where they feel both physically and emotionally safe to take risks, make mistakes and master skills. Learning at The Oaks combines a strong academic curriculum designed for deep investigation with a richly integrated program of fine arts, physical education, technology, library arts and social/personal development. The student body, faculty and staff comprise a diverse group of individuals brought together by a genuine love of learning and an honest regard for each others’ differences. Through active parent participation and involvement in civic programs we demonstrate our commitment to community, diversity and service to others. The Oaks provides an exciting educational environment where children are encouraged to explore, challenge, inquire about, explain and interpret the world around them; where – in this inspiring and supportive community – each child is expected to discover and become his or her best self.
