RIVER OAKS ACADEMY

River Oaks Academy is a public charter school that is part of the Ventura County Office of Education school district, located in Westlake Village, CA with about 263 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 13 teachers, River Oaks Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

River Oaks Academy (ROA) is a WASC-accredited, public charter school serving students in grades TK–12, with campuses located in Westlake Village and Oxnard, California. Operating as a personalized learning independent study program, the school focuses on a "student-centered" educational model that allows families to tailor curriculum and instruction to the specific needs, interests, and learning styles of each individual child. Because it is a public charter, the school provides these resources tuition-free, supporting a diverse community of students who may be seeking an alternative to the traditional classroom environment.

The school emphasizes a collaborative partnership between credentialed teachers, parents, and students to develop personalized educational plans. By utilizing a "blended" approach, ROA integrates flexible home-based instruction with on-site workshops, enrichment classes, and social activities. This structure is designed to foster both academic mastery and personal growth, offering students the flexibility to pursue their passions at their own pace while maintaining state-standard educational benchmarks.
