ABOUT THE
SCRUBBY OAK SCHOOL
EDUCATION IS A WAY OF LIFE. IT IS NOT MEASURED IN TIME, IT IS NOT GIVEN WITH A GRADE, IT IS NOT A CHECKMARK, IT IS LIVING! THE SCRUBBY OAK SCHOOL EXISTS TO TEACH KIDS TO LOVE LEARNING AND THAT THE BEST KIND OF EDUCATION IS OUTDOORS AND IN BOOKS. NOT IN BUILDINGS AND AT DESKS.
WE EXPLORE IN NATURE AS WE JOURNAL AND LEARN SURVIVAL SKILLS, WE READ LIVING BOOKS THAT INSPIRE AND OPEN OUR IMAGINATION, WE CENTER OUR TEACHINGS ON CHRISTIAN TRUTHS AND THE FOUNDING OF AMERICA.
​
BY THE END OF THE DAY IF YOU'RE NOT MESSY, HAVE A SCRAPED KNEE, OR HAVE OUTDOOR TREASURES IN YOUR POCKET THEN GO BACK OUT AND LEARN SOME MORE. AT THE SCRUBBY OAK SCHOOL WE BELIEVE IN GETTING SCRUBBY.
​
THE SCRUB OAK TREE IS ONE HEARTY TREE. IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO COME BACK AFTER FOREST FIRES. THE ROOTS OF ONE TREE INTERCONNECT WITH ALL THE OTHERS AROUND IT. AND THEY DON'T GROW TALL UNTIL THEY'VE ALL HELPED EACH OTHER. THIS IS HOW WE LEARN AT THE SCRUB OAK SCHOOL. WE ARE A TEAM, WE LIFT EACH OTHER UP, CHALLENGES MAKE US STRONGER AND WE WANT TO GROW TALL AS WE LEARN TOGETHER!
