There is a different way
for your child to get an education.
Oak Ridge Academy is an outdoor, nature-based micro private school for ages 5-18 in Leander, TX.
-
Stress-free Learning Environment
Children should learn because they are curious and they want to know how the world works, not because we compare them to one another.
-
Social & Emotional Development
In a mixed-age environment, children develop confidence, gain communication skills, and practice relationship building.
-
Connection with Nature
Time outdoors leads kids to ask big questions and learn by doing, rather than viewing the world through a screen.
-
Small Classes, Deep Connections
Class sizes of 10-to-1 promote personal mentorship relationships between guides and learners.
Your child can love learning again.
Your child is innately curious and deserves an environment that will allow them to learn at their own pace. In our relaxed, stress-free space and plenty of time outdoors, the whole world is their learning toolbox.
Education is a big decision.
Making decisions about your child’s education can be tough. See our list of books that will give you several different perspectives.

“My youngest daughter was struggling in public school. She would come home crying! Now she is thriving! She loves going to school. She is excited about learning to read and showing me how she can do it! Keep up the good work! Thanks Oak Ridge! You have filled our family with a new joy!”
