Shady Oak Christian School

"It’s a serious mistake to see young children mostly as future older children, nor should any child be seen as just an adult in the making. As John Dewey famously said, education is a process of living, not just a preparation for future living."
- Alfie Kohn

OUR MISSION

We provide an environment that fosters cooperation, creativity, independence, faith and a love of learning. Caring and highly trained teachers implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum that encourages children to explore, take risks, create, and discover.
