Oak Meadow

About Us

Founded in 1975, Oak Meadow provides a flexible, innovative education for independent learners in preschool to grade 12. At Oak Meadow, we see you as a traveler on a journey of learning—a fellow educator, not just a customer. We’re here for you, we listen to you, and we’ll support and guide you through one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent: how to educate your child.

Two Ways to Use Oak Meadow

Our book-based curriculum can be used independently by homeschoolers, or through enrollment in our teacher-supported distance learning school. Learn more about the two ways to use Oak Meadow here >

Our Approach

Our approach is compassionate and student-centered because we believe that children are sensitive and intelligent and that learning can be joyfully integrated into life. Oak Meadow’s approach to learning reflects and honors the developmental stages of childhood. Our curriculum is book-based because we believe reading on paper encourages more effective comprehension skills than reading on a digital screen. We use technology as a relevant tool for creativity, communication, and collaboration, but not primarily to deliver curriculum content. Especially in the early grades, the Oak Meadow curriculum can be completed without digital devices and internet connection; however, we thoughtfully and appropriately introduce technology throughout the grades.

Our Curriculum

Oak Meadow’s curriculum aligns with rigorous academic standards, and it can be customized to meet students’ interests, skills, and learning styles. Each of our curriculum course books includes 36-weekly lesson plans, with a variety of assignments, activities, and readings. For the home teacher’s convenience, we’ve included assignment checklists, planners, materials lists, and learning assessment rubrics to track student progress. Many families enjoy the structure of our 36-week lesson plans, and others take advantage of the built-in flexibility of the curriculum design by adding, subtracting, or adjusting the material as needed or desired. Teacher manuals, craft kits, and supplementary materials are available for further guidance and enrichment. While Oak Meadow can be used as a comprehensive homeschool curriculum, many families choose to use our materials as their academic foundation and supplement them with other educational resources, or they purchase separate courses as part of an eclectic approach.
