| | Hooker Oak School K-8 Open Structured Classroom | |
|
| | Welcome to Hooker Oak School. Hooker Oak is a K-8 school which currently houses approximately 425 students. We are an Open Structured Classroom K-8 school. The Open Structured Classroom (OSC) has been a program of choice in Chico Unified School District for approximately thirty years. It serves students in grades Kindergarten through eighth grade.
Our K-8 structure allows us to nurture and support our students in a personal, in-depth way for nine years. The continuity in our curriculum, facilities, staff members and programs provides a seamless transition from elementary school to middle school at an important point in your student’s academic career.
The Hooker Oak School Mission is to provide exceptional education tailored to our student's own abilities, interests and learning styles. Trough the combined efforts of teachers, parents and students we meet high academic standards while cultivating strong social skills, personal initiative and responsibility in our students.
The children who are in the OSC classes come from all over the district. Parents are asked to sign an agreement for commitment to work at least two hours a week per family in OSC classrooms or on OSC related activities. All of the classes are multi-aged, except kindergarten. Integrated, thematic learning is a key component providing in-depth studies of topics.
Parents, grandparents, caregivers, and community members volunteered countless hours last year; doing everything from tutoring to working in the classroom to creating fundraisers for enrichment programs. Parents also influence school planning and decision-making as members of our Parent Advisory Board and School Site Council. Students benefit greatly from this close connection between home and school.
We seek to support the individual and provide guidance, stimulation, and support. - Classes run on a continuum. Each class has two or more grades and students remain in the same class for more than one year.
- Curriculum is developed by the teacher in concert with the children, and using supplemental materials in addition to the District-adopted programs. Emphasis is on learning through experience using ever-developing problem solving skills. Academic goals are achieved through an integrated approach linked with the children's interests and needs.
- The teacher supports the learning environment as well as the learning style of each student. Attention is paid to the variable ways in which children learn. The idea is not what children should do at a given age or time, but what the child needs to help them develop to their full potential.
- Parents at HookerOak School are active participants in their children's education and are integral to the school's environment. We encourage all families to educate themselves and others in open school principles, philosophy, theory and action.
Our school is a community of self-reliant learners. School and home are blended into a larger community as children, teachers and parents work together. Hooker Oak OSC K-8 School draws families from the entire Chico Unified School District. The community extends beyond the classroom walls to other classes, to our urban community, and out into the world. Students come to this open structured, K-8 school from all over the ChicoUnifiedSchool District. Enrollment is limited by the total space.
