Growing students, one story at a time
About Oakleigh Learning Academy LLC
Welcome to Oakleigh Learning Academy
Oakleigh Learning Academy is dedicated to helping students become confident, capable, and self-directed individuals. We integrate academic support with character development through our signature OLA-SAGA Framework—a holistic system focused on Self-Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Motivation, and Self-Regulated Learning.
Whether students are overcoming challenges, striving for excellence, or learning to understand themselves better, our approach equips them with the tools needed to grow academically, emotionally, and personally.
Our Vision
Oakleigh Learning Academy envisions a learning community where every student becomes a confident, capable, and self-directed young adult—equipped with the leadership, emotional intelligence, and resilience needed to thrive in a complex and rapidly changing world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower students through intentional character development, academic excellence, and self-regulation practices. Using the OLA-SAGA Framework (Self-Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Motivation, and Self-Regulated Learning), Oakleigh Learning Academy provides high-quality instructional resources, training, and tools that help students understand themselves, take ownership of their growth, and achieve meaningful success in school and in life.
Our Core Values
Our work is grounded in four core values that define how we teach, how we interact, and how we help students grow:
1. Integrity
We model honesty, responsibility, and doing the right thing—even when no one is watching. Integrity shapes how our students develop trust in themselves and others.
2. Respect
Every student deserves to be valued and heard. We foster a culture where empathy, kindness, and positive communication guide every relationship.
3. Perseverance
Growth takes time. We teach students to embrace challenges, push through difficulty, and build the resilience required for long-term achievement.
4. Ownership
Students become confident and capable when they take responsibility for their actions, learning, and goals. We empower students to direct their journey through reflection, accountability, and intentional decision-making.
Our Educational Philosophy
At Oakleigh Learning Academy, we believe that education is most powerful when it develops the whole person—mind, motivation, emotions, and character. Students thrive when they understand how to direct their own actions, manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and set meaningful academic and personal goals.
We follow three guiding principles:
1. Student Ownership Creates Transformation
Students become active learners when they have clear goals, reflect on their behavior, and take responsibility for their progress.
2. Emotional Intelligence Is Essential to Achievement
Awareness, empathy, and emotional self-control are foundational life skills that support academic success and interpersonal growth.
3. Motivation and Self-Regulation Drive Long-Term Success
Students succeed when they learn to manage their time, monitor their progress, and understand the relationship between effort and improvement.
Our Commitment
Oakleigh Learning Academy partners with teachers, schools, families, and communities to help students grow into leaders—academically, emotionally, and socially. Through research-based strategies and a holistic approach, we aim to provide every student with the tools they need to become the best version of themselves.
