A word from: Our Director
“At Oak Learners, we strive to create an engaging curriculum that is progressive, interdisciplinary, and most importantly student-driven. Not only are we an innovative not-for-profit learning centre, but we are also a team of leaders in the community, working to ensure all students are supported and cared for.
Raising resilient and successful children certainly does take a village! I love working together with parents to support their child’s education; in a true partnership between the school and families. Communication between home and school is paramount to a child’s success and we strive to demonstrate this value on a daily basis.”
Kelly Farrell

More Than a Week of Fun: How Summer Camp Can Boost Your Child’s Mood
The right kind of camp can act like a reset button for kids’ mood, confidence, and sense of connection—not just “something to do.” And the kind of camps Oak runs (small groups, nature, arts, movement, cozy community vibes) line up surprisingly well with what recent research says children need to feel well.
Simple Sensory Tools That Just Make Sense (and the Brain Science Behind Them)
At Oak Learners, we see these behaviours every day. To us, they’re not “bad habits” or “misbehaviour”. They’re often a form of sensory seeking: a child’s nervous system trying to get the input it needs to feel organized, calm, and ready to learn.
Savvy School Supply Shopping
♫“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”♫ Back-to-School shopping has always been the most wonderful time of the year for me, while others believe shopping for school supplies marks the end of summer vacation.
A Magical Evening of Music and Theatre at Oak Learners
On June 5th, Oak Learners wrapped up the 2024–2025 school year with a spectacular outdoor concert at Amos Waites Park. Students from our Day School, B.A.S.E. (Before and After School Enrichment) program, and private music lessons took to the stage to share the music and theatre pieces they’ve been working so hard on all year.
Universal Design vs Differentiated Instruction: A New Perspective at Oak Learners
At Oak Learners, we are committed to creating a learning environment that celebrates the individuality of each child. Through the integration of UDL and DI, we offer flexible, differentiated learning opportunities that support every student’s unique journey.
Soaring Through Learning: Exploring the Wonders of Flight at Oak Learners
The students of Oak Learners recently completed an incredible six-week journey into the fascinating world of flight. This unit was an immersive experience for both students and teachers, blending creativity, hands-on exploration, and cross-curricular connections to make learning come alive.
