How to Apply

If you are interested in learning more about Live Oak Academy and would like someone to reach out to you, please inquire here.

We will send you an LOA Informational Video, as well as grade-level specific information.

After at least one parent has viewed the LOA Informational Video, you can request a class visit (K-6) or request a shadow for your student (7-12).

Class visits and shadowing can be helpful, but are not required. Parents with students entering grades K-6 can sign up for a class visit. A class visit consists of a parent or parents observing several classrooms, depending on how many grade levels they are trying to observe. Students in grades 2-6 are welcome to attend the visit with their parent(s).

Prospective students entering grades 7-12 can shadow one of our student hosts in their classes for 2-3 hours to get a feel for what it is like to be a student at Live Oak Academy.

Please complete one form for each student (required for both a visit or shadow)

📋 Request a class visit

Request your visit or shadow as soon as possible, as many classes are full by the visit days after January. Please know that there might be late application or increased assessment fees when applying at a later date.

Complete and submit your application with our online form.

When invited, both parents and the applying student are required to attend a family interview with the Headmaster and a department head. Immediate family members can also attend, and, occasionally, other significant family members might be required to attend.

The purpose of the family interview is to further explore whether Live Oak Academy and your family are a good fit for one another.
