Overview

Oak Elementary opened in 1987. We are located in one of the fastest growing towns (population about 55,000) in the Memphis/Shelby County area. Our building, described by our students as a huge happy face, is situated on 15 acres that was once a sod farm. It is a unique Pre-K to 5th grade child-centered, community supported school. Serving this population are faculty, staff, parents, grandparents, extended family members, and community supporters who believe as we do: Educating Everyone Takes Everyone and Schools Exist to Serve Children. They commit their time and resources to a program which has received national recognition for the accomplishments of its students, parents, and school leadership.

These activities include: DARE Program, Educational Leaders of Tomorrow,  Field Day Activities,   Memphis in May, Science Fair, Spelling Bee, Battle of the Books, Safety Patrol, Christmas Angels (for our young-adoptees), Christmas Pals (for our older adoptees at the Nursing Home), Red Ribbon Week, Literacy Program, Visiting Authors/Illustrators,  Botanical Garden, Brooks Memorial Art Gallery, and Oak ACRES (our outdoor classroom).

Oak offers a rich, extensive extracurricular environment to promote learning for the whole child. To learn more, please visit the clubs and activities under the student tab.
