Parents also impact peak performance by providing opportunities to study at home, initiating and responding to teacher and staff communication, and adhering to school schedules and dress code. Parents are always welcome to assist with classroom activities and field trips. We work diligently to help students develop positive relationships with each other, regardless of age, background, or abilities. The Academy's staff work to teach children how to resolve conflict independently with solutions that respect the needs of all involved. It is a learning environment that fosters mutual respect and enjoyment.
Progress is monitored daily and shared with the principal and parents on a regular basis.
Weekly progress reports allow student needs and achievements to quickly stand out. Regular, detailed evaluations also recognize individual talents, leadership skills, and team participation. Teachers continuously recognize and share outstanding efforts with students and parents to create a team approach to each child's development. Early success in education is a great indicator of future performance in school and adult life. With Oakland and Arbor Academy's small student-instructor ratio, strong parent involvement, proven curriculum and methods, every child will be guaranteed an equal opportunity to reach his or her personal best.
