ACADEMIE LAFAYETTE-OAK

ACADEMIE LAFAYETTE-OAK is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the ACADEMIE LAFAYETTE school district, located in KANSAS CITY, MO with about 488 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 34 teachers, ACADEMIE LAFAYETTE-OAK has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Académie Lafayette-Oak is a satellite campus of Académie Lafayette, a prominent public charter school in Kansas City, Missouri, known for its unique K-8 French immersion curriculum. As a tuition-free public institution, the school provides students with a rigorous academic experience where core subjects are taught primarily in French, allowing children to achieve fluency in both French and English while fostering a deep appreciation for diverse cultures.

The Oak Street campus specifically serves the younger grade levels of the network, acting as an extension of the school's mission to provide an international educational perspective to the local community. By blending the Missouri state curriculum with the French Ministry of Education’s standards, the school prepares its students to become global citizens. Its location in the Brookside area makes it a sought-after option for families in Kansas City looking for a structured, language-focused environment that emphasizes critical thinking and cross-cultural communication.
