The purpose of Oak Mountain Elementary School is to provide developmentally appropriate educational experiences in a child-centered environment. This enables students to develop to their full potential and to continue growing as productive members of society.
All children are capable of learning.
Programs should reflect high expectations and should be developmentally appropriate to meet each student's needs and learning styles. Children need opportunities to investigate, solve, and invent solutions to relevant and challenging problems which are facilitated by the teacher in a safe and secure environment. Students need a strong skill base in all subjects including fine arts and physical education. Our evaluations should employ a variety of assessment techniques. We believe in providing opportunities to foster positive self-esteem, promote independence, and develop interpersonal skills.
