Launch Studio - Grades 9-12:
Looking for a high school experience that goes beyond memorization and standardized tests?
At OliveWood Academy, our high school studio is designed to inspire critical thinking, collaboration, and personal growth. We help students develop essential skills through Socratic dialogue, problem-based learning, and rich literature discussions. Our philosophy centers on the belief that every student has unique talents and interests worth nurturing. Socratic dialogue lies at the heart of our approach—encouraging students to question assumptions, explore new perspectives, and grow in confidence as they express their ideas with clarity and purpose. Through problem-based learning in science and history, students tackle real-world challenges that build analytical and creative thinking skills. In literature, deep discussions foster interpretation and appreciation of complex texts. And with one-on-one tutoring in advanced math, each student receives personalized guidance to ensure mastery and confidence in this critical area. At OliveWood Academy, learning is not about passing tests—it’s about discovering potential, developing wisdom, and preparing for a meaningful future.
Logic and Discovery Studios - Grades 3-8:
Want your child to experience a structured learning environment that also builds twenty-first century skills? At OliveWood Academy, our Discovery and Logic Studios are designed to do just that! Through the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) program, students—known as eagles—learn to write with clarity, proper grammar, and strong structure. Each day, they focus on mastering core skills like math and literacy, supported by guides who help them reach their full potential. Character development is also woven into daily learning, helping eagles grow not just academically, but personally. In small group settings, eagles engage in problem-based learning—researching, designing, and creating solutions through the engineering design process. They apply the 4 C’s—communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking—in hands-on S.T.E.M. challenges and group projects. We encourage eagles to take initiative, learn from one another, and share their discoveries with the community. As eagles progress from Discovery to Logic Studio, they earn greater independence and higher expectations. With more freedom comes more responsibility—preparing them to think deeply, work diligently, and lead confidently.
Curiosity/ Explorers Studio - Grades K-2
At OliveWood Academy, we seek to inspire creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. In partnership with homeschool parents, our Curiosity and Explorers Studios combine online tools with traditional paper-based learning to build a strong foundation in literacy and math. Our approach values steady progress and celebrates each child’s individual strengths and growth areas. Beyond academics, we nurture social-emotional development, emphasizing kindness, honesty, responsibility, and problem-solving. Learning comes alive through engaging stories, hands-on projects, and quest-based topics that make every day exciting and meaningful. Early exploration of the design process teaches young eagles how to organize their thoughts, share their ideas, and bring new creations to life. They learn perseverance by experimenting, revising, and trying again when things don’t go as planned. The Curiosity and Explorers Studio is a safe, supportive space where children can take risks, explore their passions, and discover the joy of learning.
