Our Primary Goal – Academic & Social Success
The primary goal of our Admissions process is to make every effort to ensure that placement at White Oak School will lead to academic and social success for the student. School districts and parents are encouraged to begin the admissions process by forwarding copies of the student’s current Individual Education Plan and whatever assessment information is available (neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluations, speech and language evaluations, etc.) to the Director of Admissions.
After a review of the documentation, the Admissions Director will contact the parents to schedule a tour of the campus, so that they may gather a sense of the daily schedule and overall environment and have opportunities to ask questions about our program.
Once a student is referred and/or is determined to be acceptable for White Oak placement, a plan is developed for the student to visit our school and attend classes with a student peer, and thereby learn from personal experience how our classes and activities are conducted.
“The years of being at White Oak School have benefited my whole life because here I have come to understand my learning disability better. I never knew that my reading could get better and that I could love to read, but that is what has happened. My goal throughout the years has been to become a better reader and thereby come to believe in myself that I am intelligent. Being at White Oak School has caused me to love learning even more, because I have come to recognize what my strengths and weaknesses are and how to work more effectively with them.”
“The first time I discovered I had a disability was in the 3rd grade. I realized I was different from everyone in my class. I felt like I did something wrong and I wasn’t sure what was going on. I struggled with the ridicule from the other kids and had a hard time doing the work I was given. I felt like I was sinking faster than I was swimming. I believe I was fourteen when I found White Oak School. That day, Pat showed me around the school and let me know that the teachers really care about the students and just don’t pass them along. By the end of the year, I made many friends and had better grades than when I went to public school.”
