About Our School

What Makes Us Special
Oyama Dragons are STARS in Reading, Writing, Math and Science.

Oyama takes a “Balanced Literacy” approach by integrating reading, writing, social studies, math and science. This allows students to make more connections with subjects and gain broader and deeper knowledge.

Students examine and explore a subject through hands-on projects and inquiry-based instruction. Teachers encourage children to bounce ideas off each other and come up with their own conclusions.

Oyama takes dozens of fifth-graders to the Grand Canyon for three days each year. An active PTO helps with trips and other projects.
