Personalized Learning Academy Bk
Vision
In the Personalized Learning Academy (PLA), we celebrate the uniqueness of every student. Recognizing that no two learners are the same, we champion the individuality of each child, celebrating their distinct paths. With the guidance of our dedicated teachers and a variety of curriculum options catering to individual learning styles, students and parents co-create their academic journey. Central to the PLA experience is our emphasis on community building and enrichment opportunities tailored to meet every student’s distinctive needs. We foster connections through Sage Oak socials, field trips, online Oakschool classes, in-person art and physical education classes, and our annual college and career fair.
Curriculum
The TK-8 Personalized Learning Academy offers a wide variety of curriculum options to meet each student’s individual needs. Our Sage Oak teachers will work with parents and students to choose high-quality math, language arts, science, and social studies curricula to prepare the students for future success. Curriculum can vary between hands-on, project-based, traditional textbook style, school-provided online subscriptions, and online classes. Students are required to take local and state testing as assigned.
Sage Oak Select Curriculum
Math and ELA
For math and English language arts, the core of a student’s curriculum must be chosen from the approved list.
