Intermediate
If a child cannot learn in the way we teach, we must teach in a way the child can learn.
Discover Intermediate Division
The Oakhill Day School Intermediate Division includes the fourth and fifth grades. The division is meant to serve as a bridge from elementary to middle school. The goal of the division is to begin to shift responsibilities from the parents and teachers to the student, focusing on the formation of independent learners. Developmentally appropriate schedules and opportunities are provided to ensure the intermediate level student feels safe, confident, and happy in their learning environment.
Our Intermediate Division is part of the school's 1:1 iPad program. Technology is integrated into the everyday classroom and is also offered as a separate class to foster digital citizenship and innovation and to prepare students for the required coursework in middle school.
All Intermediate Division students participate in a 4-week in-school robotics program.
