Welcome to Oyama!

We are happy that you have chosen Oyama to educate your child! Oyama is an adventure where students are exposed and encouraged through literature and project-based learning to explore the world they live in. They are led through questioning techniques to help them express what they are thinking and wondering about. From this interest students are taught to research and find answers to more complex solutions. Our goal is to ensure that students understand what they are learning and how it has meaning to their own lives.

Oyama is not just an academic school but is also dedicated to the educating the whole child. This year we have a full time Counselor who will bring to the students a program called Character Strong. Each month the students will have a theme, August is “Kindnesss” that they work on to earn Dragon Tickets as they show these characteristics through their actions. We also have a full time Social Worker this year that will engage the students in “Healthy Play”. This program will teach students how to play and have fun as well as how to work out problems when they arise during play. School year 2022-2023 is off to a great start!

Sincerely,
Tamara Christopherson,
Principal
