Who we serve

Education Designed Around the Child

Every child learns differently. At 3 Oaks Academy, we believe education should be flexible enough to meet students where they are while helping them grow into confident, independent learners. 3 Oaks is a strong fit for:

Students who benefit from individualized learning rather than a one-size-fits-all classroom
Families looking for a private school that values flexibility, partnership, and personal attention
Learners who thrive in small classes where teachers truly know each child
Families who want academic excellence while also nurturing character, responsibility, and confidence
Students who learn at a different pace—whether they need additional challenge or more time to master concepts
Parents who want to be active partners in designing an educational path that fits their child’s goals

Admissions FAQ

When does the campus open, and when can my child start?▾

Our Sherrills Ford campus opens in 2026. We're accepting applications now for the founding 2026–27 class, and we use rolling admissions — so you can apply any time.

Is there an entrance exam?▾

No standardized entrance exam. We get to know each student through an individual assessment, the family interview, and any records you share.

What about special needs or giftedness?▾

IEPs, 504s, ADHD, and dyslexia are welcomed — and so are gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) learners. Building the right plan around each child is exactly what we do.

Is financial assistance available?▾

Yes. North Carolina families may qualify for the NC Opportunity Scholarship and ESA+ (Education Student Accounts), and we offer payment plans. See Tuition & Aid for details.
