Oasis K-12

• Orcas Island School District, WA
• K-12
• Rating 4.6 out of 5  5 reviews

Alum: The Oasis K-12 program benefits alternative learning students. K-12 is a distant learning program providing the structure of public learning in a flexible home school setting. Consulting teachers are personable and help both students and parents develop learning plans that personally fit family needs and student's learning styles. Available curriculum is minimal, yet many resources are provide for families to seek out their own curriculum. On boarding into the program is difficult. It is also difficult for Community Based Instructors to on board and to be paid in a timely fashion. Field Trip and Arts opportunities are provided, but there are little opportunities for social interactions between students, either through online sharing or during field trip events. Teachers are highly knowledgeable in both English/ Language Arts at all levels as well as STEM knowledgeable at the high school level...Read 5 Reviews
