Welcome to Little Oaks & Oaks Private Academy
Hello!
My name is Leigh and I have been teaching since 2005. I have a husband and three children.
Two of my children find school challenging. This is not to say they are not bright children; they just find it incredibly difficult to read and write.
Throughout my children’s primary school years, they have struggled to read, do homework and study for exams. As the years have passed, I realised the need to help children like mine as there are very few high schools that offer remedial support / concessions with small classes of no more than 10 children in a class.
It all happened three years ago in 2015 when I was talking to an occupational therapist. She expressed how therapists are really battling to find a place for children who suffer with delayed learning.
And that is where my journey started!
I decided there and then that I needed to make a difference. I needed to help these children learn in a kind, loving and caring environment.
There had to be a better way to make learning fun for these children who constantly battle at school.
I knew that there were many parents who felt just like I did:
- Those who do not know what to do anymore as their children are lost in the system, and
- Those who need a place that will keep trying with IEPs in place to make sure their children are learning, and most importantly, happy.
In January 2019, Little Oaks and Oaks Private Academy was born.
We have grown in leaps and bounds with the most amazing teachers, staff, children and parents who absolutely make Little Oaks & Oaks Private Academy what it is today.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Much Love
Leigh

Little Oaks & Oaks Private Academy has honestly changed my child's life. The school is registered with the Education... Department and the teachers are registered with SACE. I took my son out of a private mainstream school where he had no confidence in his school work and was not given the support. The teachers at Oaks are hands on with every child because they only have 10 pupils per class and so are able to give each child the attention they deserve and the support. My son is currently in Grade 8. Take the time to go see the school so that you can see for yourself, the difference that these teachers are making.read more

I am so impressed with the progress that my son has made at Little Oaks and Oak Academy. He has flourished in the... short time that he has been there and is benefitting hugely from the small, caring environment. The small classes means he gets a lot of individualized attention and this has really helped him. An amazing school with amazing teachers.read more

My son, like all children, was born with a “love of learning”. As he started progressing in the school district, he... became bored, complacent, and restless. His “love of learning” quickly deteriorated and began to manifest as behavioral issues that included acting out and apathy toward learning.
The answer was simple. Find a school that challenged him enough to feed his “love of learning”, acknowledge his individuality, and guide him to “do the right thing”.
Our experience at Little Oaks has been exceptional. The teachers are truly invested in my child’s education and his growth as a learner. Adjustments are made as needed to meet the needs of the student. Small class sizes and leveled learning have enabled my child to gain confidence in his learning abilities.
He’s only been attending for a short time, but I have already seen major changes in his behaviour, schoolwork etc. I highly recommend Little Oaks Academy.
Principle Leigh, the teachers and students have been so helpful and friendly. For the first time, my heart is at ease when I drop off my boy.read more

So far our journey with little oaks remedial school has been a happy one. Our little Ana has been much calmer and we... have seen much change. Most of Ana’s unhappiness stems from the fact that there is no school on Saturdays. She has settled well and is moving forward. The classes are small and the staff are well equipped for little ones who need extra love help and attention.read more
