Hello, To the community, students, staff, and future families seeking a great school. I apologize in advance for any prior negative experience you had with OIA. As a current teacher, I have not seen any signs of racism within our build (thus far). Everything starts with respect and leadership.
... Read more Our principal is great at listening to the children, families and staff. As a teacher we have planned lessons using models like SIOP, Lucy Calkins Writing..., and that each lesson implemented is modified for individual learning styles. We are on task with LA, Math, Reading,Writing, Specials and more. 'Every day millions of students arrive at American classrooms in search of more than reading and math skills. They are looking for a light in the darkness of their lives, a Good Samaritan who will stop and bandage a burned heart or ego' Jim Trelease. Let us make a change. Read less

I would like to follow up on my previous post. Extracurricular activities at OIA are non-existent. There were some small tutoring programs, but they died out. The biggest problem with OIA is that it has only 8 classrooms, which they rent. They also rent the gym which is next door. If OIA were to move

Read more to a bigger place where they would have at least 25 classrooms, a gym, a real science lab, and some playing fields, it would be able to offer more courses, sports teams, and other extracurricular activities. As it is right now, I would recommend OIA only for middle schoolers and parents who don't want their children to get in trouble in public high schools. However, I believe that since this year OIA is finally going in the right direction. Read less
