Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

With OAKTON's unique system of education there are bound to be questions, so we have put together this list of frequently asked questions. At the end, if your question still isn't answered, let us know by asking your question in the form at the bottom of the page.

Who is OAKTON for?

OAKTON is for families looking for alternative educational options that encourage the love of learning, practical skills, critical and creative thinking. Our offerings range from a la carte classes to flexible homeschool support to affordable full-time private school options.
What is the flex schedule?

The flex schedule was designed with today's family needs in mind. It allows your family to start, stop and restart when necessary. Have to go on a family vacation or just take a break? Go for it. We will pick up where they left off. You are now less on a school's schedule, and more on yours. It allows you to determine how much time you wish your student to attend, and when. They can come in the mornings, afternoons or both. They can come from 1 half day all the way to 5 full days a week. The schedule runs in two four-hour blocks from 8:00am until noon then 1:00pm until 5:00pm, in order to be conducive to most work schedules. It is also designed to provide a quality, cost-effective education accomplished in a way that gives parents more time for imparting the faith and values they hold precious.
Does OAKTON provide lunch?

No. If your student is attending all day there will be time for lunch, but they will need to provide their own. Students are welcome to bring water bottles to class.
Does OAKTON offer trials?

Yes! We are happy for prospective families to participate in classes with us for a week. This way your family can experience an OAKTON education so you can decide if it is right for your family. Sign up for your trial week today!
Is OAKTON accredited?

No, and yes. Referring to a certification granted by the state, the answer is no, and we prefer it that way. Being accredited means that an instructor or institution has been officially authorized or approved to meet certain standards of quality and credibility, but by whom? Usually, it is by an unknown bureaucracy. With the growing remedial education being performed at colleges across the country, we feel that state accreditation has not quite lived up to the hype and has proven more expensive for families. That's why we prefer our accreditation agency. OAKTON has been officially authorized or approved to meet certain standards of quality and credibility by our families, meaning that they have recognized OAKTON's ability to work with them in helping their children reach their fullest potential.
How much does it cost to attend OAKTON?

Are there any contracts at OAKTON?

No. We feel that contracts take away your freedom of choice. Our constant improvement and great results in your child's instruction should be what keeps you returning to OAKTON.
How often do I pay tuition?
