The undergirding philosophy of The Oaks is a complete belief in and adherence to the Bible as God's Word, applicable to all areas of life.

As a result of this conviction, The Oaks should be considered as an extension of the family unit, under the assumption that the education of young people is the responsibility of parents and the immediate family, rather than the responsibility of the Government, or even of the Church.

As parents, we want to provide for our children an education that is both rigorously Christian and vigorously thoughtful.

"If we work upon marble, it will perish; if on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, and imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten to all enternity."                                                           

S. F. Scovel

"To know the laws of God in nature and revelation, and then to fashion the affections and will into harmony with those laws - this is education."                                                                             

Daniel Webster
