ABOUT US
We welcome the opportunity to work with you and your child at The Oak Ridge Academy, your child is the
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY!
The Oak Ridge Academy has been privately owned, and operated in the Baltimore community for more than 50 years. Accredited by the Maryland State Board of Education and with a rich history of providing an extensive early-childhood curriculum in a loving and nurturing environment, Oak Ridge scholars are taught to soar like eagles and to unlock their full potential throughout their educational growth. Our small class settings allow each student the opportunity to have one-on-one attention from our certified teachers and aides.
Our Mission is to enhance the development of your child during early social, emotional, physical, and cognitive developmental stages of life.
Philosophy
Our Mission is to enhance the development of your child during early social, emotional, physical, and cognitive developmental stages of life.
The Oak Ridge Academy is an informal, comfortable school, where children and parents can feel at home. Learning, for the children, takes place through their experiences in daily living with a group in an environment where there is much to wonder about and explore. It aims to build character, independence and initiative; to develop self-esteem; to promote self-discipline; and to create vitality that is necessary to achieve any goal. The ultimate goal is to promote the optimum development of the individual child.
The Oak Ridge Academy teacher, who helps mold the morals and values of the child, is the extension of the parent. The teacher lays the foundation of learning that stimulates creativity and develops personality and character. Teaching basic letters and numbers, which ultimately transform into reading and arithmetic, the careful development of the mind facilitates broader academic growth. The teacher enhances interpersonal skills through her guidance of the student and interaction with others. Thus, the social and emotional growth begins to develop. The teacher is most effective when the parents are mutually willing to support, participate, and embellish upon the foundation set in the child's classroom.
