Each pillar also builds on and interacts with the others, for example social emotional development curriculum helps build family wellness along with healthy food brings better physical health which all creates an environment in which children are ready and able to learn the curriculum.
The Pillars of Success...
So what are the pillars of Mighty Oak Academy? Our approach to education is not just about academics, but also about all aspects of growing up to be life long learners and global citizens. Our pillars are the foundation for our approach to education. In order to learn children need all five pillars, not just one.

This past week we finished science and technology camp!

Mighty Oak Academy
We are hard at work preparing for the new school year. We've added new teachers to the team and our support staff is getting ready to start as well. The first two weeks of August will be focused on training
and onboarding for all of our staff to prepare for the new school year. We are continuing our investment in Conscious Discipline and will be sending some of our team to the official Conscious Discipline training the week before school starts.
Our team will be learning not only Conscious Discipline but also new and innovative teaching methods around project based learning. We are excited to have these passionate educators on board who love kids and want to change the world through education.
