Summer Academies
A Summer Academy is a two-week academic readiness program for students at transition levels in their schooling that can be operated through your organization in collaboration with local educators. Qualified instructors teach math and reading aligned with common learning standards in order to prepare students to enter the school year.
After School Programs
We help organizations offer quality tutoring programs based on best practices to support local students both academically and with life challenges. Volunteer training, consistent scheduling, and making connections between tutoring and the classroom are just some of the proven methods incorporated into our program.

We Love Teachers is a plan your organization can implement to provide practical, loving support to school teachers in your community. Providing notes of encouragement, personal care packages and donating towards classroom needs are just some of the ways your organization can help ensure teachers know they aren’t alone.

What Churches and Education
Professionals are Saying
“As a teacher I have always looked for a way I could use my unique gifts within my church community. Oaks Learning gives me the opportunity to not only help prepare kids in our community for school but also show the love of Jesus to these kids and families as well! My church hosts a Summer Academy and it is a perfect opportunity to extend the gospel into the community your church serves.”
- Kim Baker (Teacher)
“Our Summer Academy is a core part of our strategy to show love to the children and families in our church and neighborhood by helping kids get ready for a successful school year. We could not do this without such a strong and knowledgeable partner in Seed to Oaks. And as an added bonus, Summer Academy has helped strengthen our relationship with the local school -- they love how we are helping their students prepare.”
- Bobby Gilles ( Pastor )
