Experiential Learning
Oakwood’s Statement of Philosophy compels us to have students “grapple meaningfully with ideas, to discover relationships among disciplines, and to become independent and moral thinkers.”
We strive to engage students viscerally and intellectually, employing their senses to challenge their understanding of the nature of the world.
Through experiential learning, we seize opportunities to inhabit the spaces between traditional and progressive pedagogy, and we
dissolve the barriers between the classroom and the world around us.
List of 3 items.
AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS
Athletics, Debate, Music (Glee club, jazz, orchestra, rock, pop band), STEAM, Theatre, and much more!
