Using classic art , students begin to hone their skills as they transfer this learning to literature and the author's message. Outdoor learning spaces make a perfect place for group presentations.

SCIENCE OLYMPIAD TEAMS AT OAK:
"Science Olympiad competitions are like academic track meets, consisting of a series of 23 team events in each division. Each year, a portion of the events are rotated to reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering and technology. By combining events from all disciplines, Science Olympiad encourages a wide cross-section of students to get involved. In grades 6-12, Science Olympiad functions much like a football or soccer team, requiring preparation, commitment, coaching and practice throughout the year."
