Never let your schooling interrupt your education.

Weekend giveaway: Oak Meadow

//  by 

This giveaway has ended. Thanks for entering!

I am especially happy to welcome you to this weekend’s giveaway as it is a resource and company that has enriched my family’s personal homeschool journey–Oak Meadow Curriculum and School.

Their uniquely creative curriculum includes:

· Creative, artistic assignments for all learning styles
· Lessons integrated across subject areas for added relevance
· Flexible weekly lesson plans to accommodate travel, artistic and athletic pursuits
· A choice of assignments to encourage meaningful student involvement
· Adaptable for different grade levels in different subjects
· Print-based and online alternatives

Oak Meadow’s philosophy of education is founded on the following principles of learning:

An Approach Built Upon Academic Standards

“We have thoroughly studied state standards nationwide and have effectively developed a curriculum that is in line with rigorous standards while maintaining our commitment to a creative, innovative, and child-centered education.

Involve the Whole Child

We believe that true education involves more than just the intellect — it engages and integrates every aspect of the child. Our curriculum includes assignments that ask children to read, write, and think, and also to paint, draw, play music, write poetry, and build things, encouraging balanced and healthy development.

Support the Natural Development of Children

An understanding of the developmental needs of children is the foundation of our curriculum. We are mindful of keeping subjects well grounded in a familiar reality for the young child, and we gradually introduce abstract concepts as the grades advance.

Adapt to Each Child’s Unique Learning Style

Our curriculum is written to accommodate visual, auditory, and physical learning styles and provides opportunities for all children to learn easily, successfully, and enjoyably.

Create a Caring, Supportive Relationship

Children are not simply empty vessels needing to be filled — they are intelligent, creative beings eager to express new questions and ideas. The key to encouraging this innate intelligence lies in creating a caring, supportive relationship.”

Oak Meadow offers curriculum packages for preschool through 12th Grade. They also have an accredited school program you can enroll in to receive full academic credit and support from an experienced teacher.

You can read my in-depth reviews of the curriculum packages for Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, and 3rd Grade.

Today’s winner will receive one complete Oak Meadow homeschooling curriculum package in your choice of grade PreK-8! (That’s a value of $120-$420.)  Each curriculum package includes everything you need for an entire school year, including lesson plans, assignments, activities, and readings. This is a wonderful opportunity to craft a comprehensive and imaginative education for your child!

  148. Sonya K.

    This curruculum would be such an incredible opportunity for us as we just relocated to rural Southeastern Oklahoma two years ago for employment, and our county is one of the 10 poorest in the United States! As a result, the local elementary school is ranked at the 13th percentile of the state, so we plan on he schooling our two children. Winning this curriculum would be such a great gift as I have recently been diagnosed with cancer, and so the six-figure medical bills have started to come. 🙁 I hope that this entry will be considered as it would be such a profound blessing for our family. Thank you!

  156. Ashly

    My family would love to win this curriculum! We have been struggling with the idea to homeschool or not. This would be a great way to explore the option for us.

    Out of tackling a subject I’m not too confident in. What peace of mind!

  159. Jessica

    I am very much wanting to use the first and third grade curriculum in our home school this year. OM seems like such a good fit for our family, and would be a blessing to win .

    Oooh – we’re doing Ambleside with my oldest, but I was thinking of something different for my little one – thinking Oak Meadow might be just the thing. Would love to give this a try! Thank you.

  176. Evie

  195. Beth S

    Hi and thanks for the chance to win! I do a lot of outside school work with my son and have been playing with the idea of moving to homeschooling. This would give me the opportunity to try it out before taking a massive plunge!

I think Oak Meadow would be the perfect guide for us. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

  215. Alexandra

    What a wonderful opportunity this is! Beginning my homeschooling journey was rocky, filled with tremendous self-doubt. Your website helped solidify my conviction to continue on. As a mother of four, under six, Oak Meadows philosophy and hands-on approach is just what our family needs! Being able to connect and not have my kids head stuck in a workbook all day helps with our bonding as a family (all four of my kiddos were adopted). Thank you for this chance to win, but more so thank you for everything you shaved shared.

  226. Christine Seymour

    We have used OM for a few years now and are absolutelt thrilled with it…..I tell everyone about it and how wonderful and personal the staff is when I have had to call………especially when I first explored this option and had a ton of questions……..Hoping we win another great year of learning lies ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!dream and explore……….

  227. Liz Brown

    I enjoy your blog and would love to win this giveaway for my two children. Thanks so much from Alberta, Canada!

  237. Amanda Kaufman

    I would just LOVE to try this curriculum — I keep looking into it for my children. I’ve been hesitant to try a curriculum because we love to learn in a hands-on way, but Oak Meadow seems like it would be a fantastic choice for my family.

  242. Tiffany H.

    We are seriously considering a change to Oak Meadow, but haven’t had a chance to look at the curriculum (other than online samples). Oh, how we would love to win this giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity!

  243. Cristy S.

    I hadn’t heard of Oak Meadow until you mentioned it here at Simple Homeschool. I would love to win a grade 3 package! Great giveaway, thanks!

  251. Kelly Loughry

    What a wonderful curriculum it seems to be! Thank you for the information and the opportunity to win it.

  252. keri

    your site has been a blessing. fears and misconceptions about what home schooling not only is, but what its potential is, have been peacefully laid aside.
    a world of possibility opens up, hope becomes part of the vocabulary again and the biggest eye opener of all: the realization that i can do it. we can do it. we can forge our own trail through the jungle of childhood and education, and we are free to do it in any ways we can conceive of. yes, a blessing. happy saturday.

  272. christina d.

    I’ve heard such wonderful things about Oak Meadow. This would be a great way to see if it is the right fit for our family learning. Thanks for the opportunity!

  284. Kristina Best

    The Kindergarten curriculum would be awesome. I have found it difficult to find one that works with my child that I can afford. Right now we are just doing free worksheets and he goes through those very fast.

  289. Cindy Jusino

  315. Sarah C

    That would be awesome! I’ve read some of their stuff, so I’d love to order Kindergarten for my little guy to use in tandem with his public preschool. He’s a busy (and smart) little guy and Oak Meadow would be awesome to keep him engaged.

  318. Gregory Holland

    We’ve pretty much decided on OM for our son, would be great if we could win a year’s curriculum!

  319. Carrie

    I would love the opportunity to try this curriculum with my 3 children. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

  486. Astoria

  540. Erica D.

  546. Nikole Brock

  547. Kate

  548. Nikole Brock

    Sounds like a good balance between a rigorous and rigid and a flexibe and feel good curriculum. I am excited to try it with my children as we begin our homeschool journey!

  555. Carla Reed

  567. Rachel McInally

    I would love to try out Oak Meadow! I keep looking at it and knowing that’s what I should do with my eldest son 🙂

  568. Jennifer

    I am very interested in Oak Meadow. This would be perfect for my youngest in Kindergarten. I’m always lost, when I have a child in K, because my children usually sail through K material in Pre-K, but are not ready for 1st Grade material the following year. This would be perfect to fill that void for an advanced Pre-Ker who is not quite ready for 1st Grade work. It’s exactly our style and will blend nicely with our group lessons.

    Jen

  571. Traci

    Oh, we’d love this! We begin our first week of homeschooling in one week…I’ve always thought we’d love Oak Meadow. Thanks for offering this.
