A Portrait of a Belmont Oaks Academy Student
At Belmont Oaks Academy, we nurture students who are not only academically accomplished but also compassionate, curious, and confident individuals. Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, foster critical thinking, and cultivate a sense of global citizenship.
Weaving together the threads of our philosophy:
- Intellectual Curiosity: Our students are driven by a thirst for knowledge, exploring diverse subjects with enthusiasm. They are encouraged to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and seek innovative solutions.
- Compassion and Empathy: We foster a caring and inclusive community where students develop a deep understanding of others' perspectives. They learn to empathize, act with kindness, and contribute positively to their world.
- Global Citizenship: Our students are equipped with the tools to become responsible global citizens. They develop a sense of interconnectedness, appreciate cultural diversity, and are motivated to make a positive impact on their communities and the world.
- Character Development: We prioritize the development of strong character traits such as integrity, resilience, and perseverance. Our students learn to embrace challenges, overcome obstacles, and maintain a growth mindset.
- Lifelong Learning: We instill in our students a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom. They are encouraged to pursue their interests, explore new opportunities, and become lifelong learners.
Middle School Placement
Over the years, our school has developed and maintained strong relationships with independent, parochial and public middle schools throughout the Peninsula. Our reputation with the various schools is exceptional as each year our alumni pave the way for our future graduates because of the strong foundation they received at our school. BOA students are well-rounded students with a passion for learning. Often, admission directors will comment how they recognize a "BOA Student" within the first few minutes of a campus visit due to their confident communication skills. Whether you plan on sending your child to an independent middle school, parochial school or public school your child will be prepared with a strong foundation for future success.
Middle School Process
At the start of the 5th grade year, our elementary principal and 5th grade teacher support the students and families during the middle school application process. The principal encourages families to schedule a meeting to discuss the various middle schools and "best fit" options. Throughout the process, our principal and 4th/5th grade teachers provide recommendations and promote each student at his or her schools of choice.
