The Oaks Faculty:

Our teaching staff averages nine years of Oaks experience and fifteen years of teaching experience overall. Thirteen posses Masters Degrees and several are published. The Board's dedication to making career-length teaching feasible for full-time teachers has yielded an unusually low turnover-rate.

Charlie Dowers is the current Head of School, working alongside Ken Trotter (Dean of Grammar, Logic & Rhetoric Schools) to maintain the original mission while casting vision for years to come.

The Oaks Board of Directors relies on the Carver Governance Model, defining school mission, values, goals, and strategy while delegating flexible authority to the Headmaster to carry out these objectives. Current Board members include Shawn Van Horn (President), Craig Schurter, Brian Schultz, Merrill Miller, and Mark Smith.

The Oaks follows a two-millennia long, well-proven classical Christian education model that integrates the Trivium across the K-12 curriculum. We scale its three stages (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) to the developmental maturity of students.

A short book written by Dorothy Sayers, The Lost Tools of Learning, serves as a readable introduction to classical education.
