Mission

Oak International, a Catholic service organization affiliated with the Legion of Christ, directs educational programs for the integral formation of young people. Founded in 1969, Oak International arose in response to a plea from conscientious parents seeking quality education for their children. Oak International develops and promotes curriculums, programs, conferences and training courses that are then used and implemented in our Oak schools. We collaborate with parents in the delicate task “To teach; to form; and to educate” their children through an intellectual, human, and spiritual curriculum.

The Intellectual Dimension

To develop a student’s critical and analytical capacity Oak International schools teach basic content using defined programs, modern methods and practical guides. Our small class sizes guarantee personalized attention and dynamic and effective learning processes that are academically on a par with other institutions at state and national levels.

The Human Dimension

To motivate and help students acquire core values and virtues is a major goal of Oak International schools. Our sports clinics offer students indispensable opportunities for physical and athletic development, promoting healthy minds, forging character and teaching responsibility, teamwork and discipline. On the field devotion, effort, and enthusiasm outweigh achievemen and victory.

Music, painting and sculpture are valuable parts of the cultural syllabus at Oak International schools. So too is travel through its discovery of humanities and traditions. Students visit their school’s historical and cultural centers, at both the regional and national levels. Additionally all Oak International schools tap into international customs and pastimes through major trips at Christmas and Easter to the Vatican (including an audience with the Pope) and other long-distant trips that may include Venice, Montreal, the Alps, Washington D.C. or New York City.

The Spiritual Dimension

To foster a student’s spiritual growth, Oak International schools study Christian truths and offer students opportunities for the regular practice of the sacraments. Devotion to Christ, his mother and a love for the Pope and souls are instilled so that they become part of our students’ spiritual wealth.
