OASIS K-12

OASIS K-12 is a Title I public school that is part of the Orcas Island School District school district, located in EASTSOUND, WA with about 368 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th 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 10 teachers, OASIS K-12 has a student/teacher ratio of about 36:1. 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.

OASIS K-12 is a specialized program operating under the Orcas Island School District in Washington State. Designed as an alternative learning environment, it functions primarily as a parent-partnered program. The school focuses on personalized education, allowing families to collaborate with certificated teachers to develop individualized learning plans that cater to the unique academic needs, interests, and learning styles of each student from kindergarten through twelfth grade.

The program emphasizes flexibility and autonomy, blending home-based instruction with the resources, curriculum support, and professional guidance provided by the public school district. By fostering a close partnership between home and school, OASIS K-12 aims to provide a structured yet adaptable educational experience that supports student growth both academically and personally within the tight-knit Orcas Island community.
