Welcome : From Head of School Holly Horton...
An excellent education is one that teaches children how to learn, and how to act with compassion and integrity.
We believe these dual objectives are best accomplished in an environment where students are seen as unique individuals; where they are actively involved in the learning process; where questions are more important than answers; where diversity is valued and nurtured; where kindness and compassion are expected; and where students share in the responsibility of shaping the community in which they learn and grow.
Our mission is to support the potential and promise of each student. This mission is made real in a rigorous academic environment that embraces each student's learning skills and supports age-appropriate, challenging work through differentiated instructional methods. We value all the contributions our students make: in the classroom, on the stage, in the art studio, on the athletic fields, in their work within the school community and beyond.
We measure progress toward our mission by our students' success in leaving Live Oak as competent and confident learners and wonderful people. We are proud of each student's ability to be accepted at a first-choice high school and to successfully meet the challenges of this next step on the educational journey.
I invite you to browse our website and visit Live Oak. I'm certain you will feel the hum of a school brimming with the energy and creativity of learning.
Sincerely,
Holly Horton
Head of School
