Assemblies & Student-Centered Events

For student assemblies, the entire student body and members of the community assemble in the Chapel for a student presentation. Each grade hosts two or three assemblies throughout the year, sharing what they have learned in class through student-led performances incorporating poetry, singing, dancing, visual arts, film, and/or acting. At the end of each assembly, 6th graders share the Thought for The Week.

Held in the Sanctuary on the Friday before Winter Break, the Winter Sing is a celebration of music and community. Each grade performs a song, the lyrics of which often emerge during class collaboration. A special Café Friday follows the performance, which is attended by families, friends, and many Oaks alums.

This community-building, all-school event is a time when all the families and students spend a weekend camping at a nearby site. The Campout is a wonderful, relaxed way for families to get to know each other by hiking, sharing a picnic, and singing and telling stories by the campfire.

At this event, held in the spring, friends, family, and alums are invited to view student work in Art, Music, and Maker throughout the school. Displays include an art gallery, performance videos, interactive games, and more.

At The Oaks School, our annual Circus is a vibrant celebration where students showcase their creativity, teamwork, and confidence through a variety of exciting performances. From juggling and acrobatics to clowning and magic, the Circus brings together our diverse talents in a joyful, supportive environment.
