Oasis Academy Gaudior Academy Concord Academy AGBU Manoogian School David Ellis Academy Livingston Dev. Academy Education is a lifestyle at Oasis Academy, not just something students get out of books. Students aren't allowed to have candy, junk food or sugar-drenched juice at school. Once they get used to the idea, children often become vigilant nutritionists at home, sometimes refusing to eat fast food. Oasis offered 7th grade for the first time during the 1999-2000 school year.
Teachers push parents to get their children to bed earlier.
They also help parents learn to live without television. Instead, parents are coached to use their time for activities that help children grow. As a result, Oasis students are able to learn, Administrator Ruth Kotler said. MEAP studies are not specifically taught, although teachers may occasionally send MEAP worksheets as homework. The school's MEAP scores are off the charts, typically ranging from 75 percent to 100 percent satisfactory.
