3-Year Old Pre-Kindergarten ProgramIt has been noted that the path to college begins in pre-school. This is a path where light and learning meet and where fascination and foundation make the way smooth. This is a path the Oak Mountain Academy treasures deeply. Here, the education of pre-school children is fully immersed in love, in play, and in exploring the world around them.
Oak Mountain Academy has created a nurturing environment where the parent and teacher collaborate in a traditional school setting to give the 3-year-old child a remarkable first school experience. Through group cooking activities, music, movement, art, and foreign language, Oak Mountain Academy goes above and beyond to ensure a pre-school year like no other. By limiting our class size, we can provide children and their parents with unique opportunities such as a transition week at the start of the school year for parents and children. We also strongly value communication and put an emphasis on consistent, detailed parent/teacher communication,
Our curriculum is age appropriate and aligned with the 4-year program to ensure a smooth transition to pre-kindergarten. Most importantly, we believe children learn from play, and at OMA, they will always be encouraged and allowed to do so. It is a privilege to educate the young child, and we cherish and value each opportunity.
The Georgia Private School Tax Credit – SSO of America
In May 2008, the Georgia state legislature passed a bill called The Georgia Private School Tax Credit (HB1133). This bill allotted $50 million per calendar year of state income tax money to be used for private school scholarships. Individuals and companies paying Georgia income tax are allowed to donate to private schools and receive dollar for dollar credit off of their Georgia Income Tax making the cost of the donation essentially zero.
