About OASIS
In September the OASIS K-8 program will celebrate its 9th year of operation.
“It has come a long way since its inception,” organizers say. “The school continues to make improvements to this innovative program and serves a diverse population. OASIS is a Parent Partnership, an alternative educational program operated by the Orcas Island School District, designed to help parents who want a home schooled and/or alternative educational option for their children. The school district provides support to families in their search for creative, flexible methods and materials for educating their children, and together they strive to meet the unique needs of each learner.”
