Our close working relationship with the Foundation for Behavioral Resources and Grand Valley State University offers your child access to the best development and curriculum resources. Growing with Oakland and Arbor Academies guarantees consistent teaching methods and guidelines to maintain a safe and learning-rich environment. We rely on teaching methods that unlock your child's preferred learning style and help your child experience learning through all of their senses. Books, field trips, computers, learning stations, science centers, specialists, and more will assist your child in gaining and applying new skills. 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 teaches children how to resolve conflict independently with solutions that respect the needs of others. Our learning environment 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.
