Our Pillars To Success

The Pillars of Mighty Oak Academy

Pillars at Mighty Oak Academy are core areas that guide all aspects of the school, from instruction, to extracurricular to student and family life.

Well-Rounded Curriculum

Mighty Oak Academy is focused on building life-long learners. To that end, academics are the priority. A fundamental building block for lifelong learning is being able to read, write and perform math on grade level. We use the current Kentucky state standards to guide instruction.  Teachers put together lessons that are of interest to our students to meet the standards and also meet the student where they are, helping them to advance through grade level material.

Social-Emotional Wellness

Part of Mighty Oak Academy’s mission is to create lifelong learners who empower their community.  We take a “whole-person” approach to learning that includes not only academics, but also social-emotional wellness, working as a member of a team, problem-solving, knowing facts from opinions, and most of all building community.  Social Emotional learning is included in all aspects of the instruction.  We believe all learning is social and supporting students with skills to know how to regulate themselves, and relate to other people is critical for a student’s success.

Physical Health & Education

Physical activity is a key part of developing a healthy brain and mind.  Students take part in physical activity every day with physical education classes and ample time to get out and play whether it’s in the gym or outside.  Less structured recess time allows students to problem solve on their own with their peers while P.E. class introduces them to new sports, exercises and opportunities.

Healthy Food Solutions

Food and Nutrition are also a key part of developing a healthy body, brain and mind.  Mighty Oak Academy focuses on providing healthy food for our students during the school day.  MOA provides breakfast and lunch everyday.  Students are required to eat school lunch and only milk or water are allowed for drinks on campus. This helps to increase focus and decrease distractions whether it’s from a sugar crash mid-morning, or competition over who has what for lunch. 

Parent Partnerships

We love our parents too!  Mighty Oak Academy values it’s parents and understands that when families are healthy then kids are healthy too.  MOA provides connection to various resources to help families in many areas.  We also have our own parent program families are encouraged to participate in to help them realize their dreams for themselves as well as their kids.
