Oaklawn Language Academy

We’re extremely fortunate to find a bilingual public school so accessible to west Charlotte. The class is very diverse and the teacher is going above and beyond to meet our child where they are with their language and emotional/social abilities. My child loves this school!

I have been an educator for 14 years, and I have worked in schools of all types. The staff here at OLA are some of the most caring people that I have had the pleasure of working with since I began my career. Everyone tries to meet students where they are both academically and emotionally. This was especially evident during the pandemic when students who were having trouble adjusting to online learning were offered mentors for extra support during the transition, and parents conferences were held to not only discuss academics but how their students could be best supported emotionally. Students are taught to be compassionate and respectful from the time they enter the building in kindergarten until they complete the program in 8th grade. Teachers reinforce social emotional learning on a daily basis, students are expected to work hard, and they are taught how to become their own advocates so they can be successful when they move on to high school and beyond.

This school is the absolute worst my children have gotten stressed. This school doesn’t care about the student mental health.

Oaklawn is a wonderful school. My son is learning so much and the teachers have a great passion for teaching.

The experience from all public schools during this day are all pretty much average. There are some good and bad teachera everywhere. The passion to teach just isnt there anymore.
