Philosophy : Live Oak's compelling and rigorous curriculum is designed to prepare students for high school -- and for life.

Our students . . .

• learn through direct experience and hands-on exploration
• work cooperatively with their peers to communicate, negotiate, and problem solve
• take risks in a challenging, supportive environment

Our teachers . . .

• tap into students' natural curiosity to actively engage them in learning
• design a rigorous curriculum relevant to the group and responsive to the individual
• teach at the forefront of learning theory as a result of ongoing professional development and peer exchange

Our community . . .

• forges a partnership between school and home
• cultivates open-mindedness, responsibility, kindness, and compassion
• strives to reflect the values it seeks to instill in its children
