OUR PHILOSOPHY

As part of a strong community, Oakwood Academy is committed to providing a respectful, enriched and inclusive school where every child can thrive. By offering a specialized team of professionals who are passionate about the success of each child, and who are prepared with the tools they need to help them succeed, effective learning will be the result. With a focus on individualized education, teachers and therapists work with families to build stronger communication skills, thinking skills and social-emotional skills. By working with a developmental framework and understanding each child’s unique profile, we can better provide the structure needed to help them reach their full potential.

 

Learning and development is a lifelong journey and age alone should not determine the level at which to learn. We consider many variables before designing education plans and use innovative, meaningful and motivational environments to best support growth. Oakwood understands that learning should happen across many settings, and by providing a comprehensive approach to learning, we can offer an education that goes well beyond the classroom. We hold our standards above what is expected. We raise the bar for industry standards.  We believe in our students and will continue our progressive and supportive approach to learning with a family-centred approach. Oakwood is an extraordinary place to learn and grow and we welcome everyone to join in the learning!

OUR VALUES

Individualization

We know that every student is unique and requires an educational program that meets their individual needs and goals. We strive to ensure each student’s day is tailored to address their social and academic goals in the best way possible. 

Collaboration

Oakwood Academy recognizes the importance of collaborating with a variety of professionals, and we work as a multidisciplinary team to provide a complete education that will encompass a child’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth.

Communication

We believe that consistent communication between staff and parents is a key element in the success of our students. Parent communication is extremely important to us and is an integral link between generalizing skills learned at school to the home setting.

Personal Growth

We value all gains made by our students and consider each accomplishment to be an important step in their development. We also want to instill a sense of pride in our students as they work to learn new skills and overcome challenges.

Understanding

At Oakwood we have compassion and understanding for every student and every family. We are here to provide support, encouragement, and the best education possible.
