    Developmental Priorities

    N/A

    Balanced
    Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.
    Intellectual
    The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."

    Curriculum pace

    N/A

    Standard-enriched
    Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

    Academic culture

    N/A

    Rigorous
    A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.

    Preschool/K curriculum

    N/A

    Academic
    Academic-based preschools and Kindergartens are the most structured of the different types, and have a strong emphasis on math and reading readiness skills. These programs aim to expose children to what early-elementary school is like. While time is still allotted to free play, much of the day is built around explicit lessons guided by the teacher. Classrooms often resemble play-based ones (with different stations set up around the room), but at an Academic program the teacher leads students through the stations directly, and ties these activities to a whole-class lesson or theme.

    OXFORD LEARNING ACADEMY (PRIVATE SCHOOL)

    "Over the years, Oxford Learning Academy (OLA) has been shaped by its commitment to teaching students how to learn, not just what to learn. The academy started from a small classroom that offered Kindergarten to Grade 1 students the opportunity to build their foundations of learning. As the academy grew so did our space and Grade levels expand to Grades 1 to 8 classrooms. The Oxford Learning Difference, our Dynamic Assessment, is a pivotal part of our learning history, it is how we understand each child’s learning style, strengths, and challenges to create individualized programs. The way our teachers work with your child gets implemented in the first weeks of school and not after months of assessing your child’s needs. We focus on cognitive development and personalized instruction—this continues to guide our school to help every child build the lifelong thinking and learning skills they need to thrive."

    Under what conditions would you advise a family against choosing school_name?

    Under what conditions would you advise a family against choosing your school?

    OXFORD LEARNING ACADEMY (PRIVATE SCHOOL)

    "Oxford Learning Academy (OLA) may not be the right fit for families seeking a traditional, fast-paced, or highly competitive academic environment where all students follow the same structure and expectations. Our school prioritizes individualized learning, small class sizes, and steady, personalized progress. Families who prefer large classrooms, conventional teaching methods, or minimal parent involvement might find a different school will better align with their needs. OLA is the best match for families who value personalization, patience, and a close partnership to understand their child’s learning journey and personal growth."
