Our History:
Lawrence and Bonnie Williams began Oak Meadow in 1975 when their four youngsters were youthful. With a devoted gathering of folks and educators, they opened a day school based upon a straightforward theory: Children are touchy and smart, and learning ought to be agreeable. For a long time everybody adapted together, and the youngsters created innovatively and cannily.
Following three years, the property Oak Meadow was renting was sold to an engineer, and the school group abruptly ended up without a building for the school. Lawrence and Bonnie started self-teaching their youngsters and created self-teaching courses for folks and kids based upon the same theory that had worked effectively in the day school.
Their self-teaching methodology was straightforward and regular, yet it turned out to be extremely powerful: give youngsters a sheltered, nature’s domain; give imaginative exercises to head, hands, and heart; offer every person appreciation and time to unfold commonly. Folks took after this methodology and observed that it met expectations, and they told different folks.
In the course of recent years, Oak Meadow has stretched extensively. Our self-teaching courses for preschool through secondary school are currently utilized worldwide by many families, and our unique logic hasn’t changed.
