Welcome to Oak Learners
Creativity. Confidence. Community
Oak Learners is a not-for-profit Micro School and Learning Centre that blends the benefits of small class sizes (6:1 ratio), daily outdoor learning, and a richly arts-enriched curriculum to nurture each child’s unique potential. Our approach supports all learning exceptionalities through personalized, experiential, and STEAM-integrated instruction — empowering students to flourish academically, creatively, and emotionally. From full-time or par-time private schooling to enriching programs in tutoring, music and day camps, Oak Learners is where curiosity grows wild and children feel at home.

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
