Elementary School
Acorns & Oaks K-2 Elementary School builds strong academic foundations while nurturing confidence, character, and a love of learning rooted in faith.
Young Oaks: K-2 Elementary
Our accredited, kindergarten through second grade elementary school follows a microschool model — intentionally small, relationship-centered, and designed for deep learning. Students build essential skills in reading, writing, math, and critical thinking through hands-on, engaging lessons. Collaboration, problem solving, and personal responsibility are woven into each day, helping children grow both academically and in character.
Individualized Learning. Intentional Growth.
Our Kindergarten–2nd grade class is intentionally capped at 12 students, creating opportunities for meaningful relationships, individualized instruction, and deeply personalized learning. In this nurturing microschool environment, each child is known personally and guided at the pace that best supports their growth. Our certified teachers provide thoughtful instruction, encouragement, and challenge tailored to each learner, helping students build confidence, master foundational skills, and thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.
Growing in Wisdom Across Generations
Meaningful relationships with older adults are formed through shared activities and simple moments of connection. These experiences help children grow in empathy, confidence, and respect as they learn to value people of all ages and abilities.
Strong Foundations. Confident Futures.
Our microschool setting allows us to intentionally cultivate independence, resilience, and responsibility through consistent routines and meaningful expectations. For families seeking a smaller, faith-rooted learning community, Acorns & Oaks provides a nurturing environment where children are supported, challenged, and prepared for the next stage of learning and life.
