Our son attends the Oaks and we are very blessed with how he has matured spiritually and academically. The nurturing nature of the educational team has been amazing. Our son loves his teachers and the other students.

The Oaks is clearly the best school I have ever encountered. The environment is loving, warm and friendly, yet academically challenging. The students and staff have an immense amount of respect for one another. The staff cares about each child individually. The students are taught to love learning and realize how God has a hand in everything we do.

We looked at a number of private schools. We wanted one with the primary objective of building a cornerstone of Christ in the students' heart. Secondarily the school had to show excellent scholastic acheivment & opportunity for their graduates. Here we found 100% of the grads go on in school with 97% to a four year school. The average SAT score is 1871 and this year's graduating class, of 21 kids, received $1.8M in scholastic awards. All b/c the admin, teachers AND parents love the students, want to train them to be leaders, and accomplish it with a time-tested method. As a parent you only have once chance to infuse your child with an education like this. It is one of the only investments that pays off in knowledge, opportunity, and to future generations. It is a must visit, once you see this school it sets the bar for the others you preview.

Excellent balance of rigorous academic training and genuine love for the Lord. Tough balance to strike, but it seems to be producing wonderful results.

This school creates leaders. All you have to do is sit in on a couple classes or watch some of their seniors. Amazing, Amazing school and amazing staff.

Outstanding school for families who seek a Christian worldview infused in a classical approach to education. While academically demanding, the teachers and staff clearly love their students as demonstrated in the classroom. If you are a family with strongly held Christian principles and seek an academically rigorous environment for your children, The Oaks is for you.

This school has changed the way I view learning. I no longer learn because I have to, but because I want to. The excellent staff has taught me to strive for excellence, and to seek Christ is all that I do. In short, The Oaks has taught me to be a better student and a better person. Thank you.

This school has taught my daughter to love learning and to love the lord. She has grown so much because of this school's great leadership. This school is challenging, but it encourages students to love learning rather than grades. In secondary, students learn through discussion rather that rote memorization. The classical method works.

The Oaks effectively equips children for a lifetime. We have four children in The Oaks and cannot say enough in appreciation and admiration for the school. The school integrates a Christian worldview and a commitment to Christ in all aspects of the curriculum. The Principal, staff and teachers are qualified, motivated and devote extensive personal attention to the students. The academic standards are very high but it continually amazes us what our children are learning. The Trivium approach to learning is of great benefit. We would highly recommend the Oaks for those who desire to have a Christ centered education from a classical perspective.

While Academically sound, that might actually outweigh the spiritual assertions.

I believe the desire to be academically elite overrides the ability of each teacher to nurture the students as individuals and infuse in them a love for learning. The Oaks prides itself in being miles ahead of other schools and yet when we moved our children we found that in their academic assessments there were many steps of processing that were missing as a result of pushing so far ahead in age appropriate curriculum. While our children had good grades, they did not retain information, but rather memorized enough to score well in tests.

We moved to Spokane to put our two children in The Oaks because of it's reputation for spiritual and academic excellence. We've seen true excellence in the standards set, teaching quality, leadership of administration, and how well our two children are doing. It is not an easy school by any means, but for parents who want God's best for their kids education, it has exceeded our expectations in every way. We also see the students graduating from The Oaks doing extremely well with school testing statistica to be very high compared to any other school in the area.
