OCEANA HIGH SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

Oceana High School focuses on helping adolescents learn to use their minds well.

Each student is expected to master essential skills and areas of knowledge. While these skills and areas will reflect traditional academic disciplines, our program's design will be shaped by the intellectual and imaginative powers and competencies that students need.

Teaching and learning is personalized. Oceana High School's goals apply to all students while the means to these goals vary as those students themselves vary. Instruction is tailor-made to meet the needs of every student.

An Oceana High School diploma will be awarded upon exhibition of a student's grasp of the central skills and knowledge of the school's program. Students must demonstrate that they have mastered important concepts and skills.

The tone of the school stresses high expectations, trust, decency, fairness, generosity, and acceptance.
