One continuous education, from infancy through 6th grade.
Oak Bridge offers a seamless academic journey across every stage of childhood — tuned to the way children of that age actually learn, and connected by a shared philosophy of curiosity and hands-on learning.
Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences
Our teaching approach is informed by the multiple intelligences theory developed by Howard Gardner, a Harvard University graduate. This method considers that every child learns differently and that a traditional one-size-fits-all teaching style will leave some children behind.
The Howard Gardner theory challenges the idea of a single IQ and proposes that there are multiple types of human intelligence based on the different ways we process information.
Linguistic
Sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals.
Logical-Mathematical
The capacity to analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically.
Musical
Skill in performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns — recognizing and composing musical pitches, tones, and rhythms.
Bodily-Kinesthetic
The potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems or fashion products.
Spatial
The potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.
Interpersonal
The capacity to understand the intentions, motivations, and desires of other people — and to work well with them.
Intrapersonal
The capacity to understand oneself — to appreciate one's own feelings, fears, and motivations.

Prekindergarten
Our Pre-K curriculum mirrors that which is typically taught in kindergarten. Children learn how to print their first and last names and spell simple words. We begin teaching phonics, and rhyming games are used to help children begin to read. Students are introduced to IXL lesson plans, science and iPads.

Elementary School
Includes instruction in language arts, reading comprehension, history and social studies, and STEM. Students create projects, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned. Students make use of the school's computer lab and use tablet applications for interactive learning. We offer an accelerated program but will meet children at whatever learning level. Kindergarten students have weekly ukulele instruction; 1st through 6th grade students have weekly guitar instruction and a weekly chess club.
