What’s the age range for children at LEARN?

We can accept students at age 4 years and 9 months for our kindergarten/transitional kindergarten program. This is a state requirement. Our oldest students this year are in third grade. We expect to expand into upper elementary as these students grow.

How do admissions work?

If you are interested in your child attending Oakland LEARN, reach out on our contact page and book a tour. After the tour, we’ll schedule a trial day so we can see how your child gets along with our students and how they like the program. We do not require test scores from past schools, though they will aid us in placing a student with appropriate coursework.

Because we do personalized education, we are able in some cases to offer rolling admissions and accept mid-school-year transfers. We will never consider in admissions whether a family requested financial aid, though as a small program we may be unable to provide the requested financial aid.

Are LEARN’s students academically prepared for other schools?

So far, all of LEARN’s full-time students are performing at or above (often well-above) grade level. The LEARN students who took MAP Growth placement exams in summer 2025 (all full-time enrolled students) all scored 97th percentile or higher for their grades. Many LEARN students are completing coursework designed for students four or five years older than they are. We’re confident our students are more than prepared for other schools.
