White Oaks School in Front Royal, VA is an exciting new educational opportunity for students in grades 7-9. Following the Montessori method and melding traditional school subjects with agrarian projects and entrepreneurial ventures, White Oaks seeks to meet the unique and diverse needs of the adolescent while preparing them for adulthood. 

 

 

In light of the many shortcomings of modern education, this Montessori-based approach, combined with classical studies, seeks to restore balance to the human person. The method is scientific, rooted in reality, and at the same time entrepreneurial in spirit. The children learn not only classic literature and Latin and other subjects; they truly apply their knowledge in creating and maintaining agrarian-based ventures and local apprenticeships that prepare them for adulthood. 

 

Through this campaign, we hope to spread the word about this schooling option and to raise funds both for building the program and for the renovation of a barn structure on the property, for classroom and work space as the students grow in number. 

 

Please join us in building a school for current and future White Oaks students. This is the building to be renovated:

 

 

It currently has one finished room, in use as a science lab, in the front.

 

The students themselves worked on the renovations to make the lab, this past summer. 

 

 

The rest of the building needs a full build-out (including sewer, plumbing, flooring, insulation, framing of rooms, and finishing work).

 

Currently, the students study in a small upstairs loft room at John XXIII Montessori Children's Center. 

 

 

Through the support of our local community and the generosity of those far and near, these students and those who follow in the years ahead will have the space they need to learn, grow and achieve their educational and entrepreneurial goals, helping them to fulfill God's plan for their lives.
