Rooted In Character
Committed To Excellence
Animated Tree with seasons of the year

Here at Forest Oak we have a great facility and grounds (40 acres with woodlands, stream, etc...), wonderful students, a dedicated staff, and supportive parents --- all ingredients of an excellent school.

It is important to us that each one of our students succeed. The four key messages at Forest Oak are the following: "This is important!" "You can do it!", "We will not give up on you!" and "Effective effort leads to success".

It is crucial to deliver these key messages to achieve the goals stated in our School Vision Statement:

"We the staff, parents, students and community of Forest Oak are dedicated to providing a safe, respectful, nurturing environment that stimulates and challenges all individuals to realize their academic, social and emotional potential."

George B. Thomas, Sr. Learning Academy

The mission: is to accelerate students' mastery of academics, specifically reading, language arts, and mathematics, and to close the achievement gap. The Learning Academy is a tutoring and mentoring program that enhances the academic performance and achievement of students in grades 1 through 12. On Saturday mornings, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., certified teachers and volunteer tutors work with students on core subjects and teach successful learning/studying strategies.



CyberSafety

A collaboration of Montgomery County Public Schools, the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office, and the Montgomery County Police Department.

The Internet is a fabulous resource for education, entertainment, and more. But the Internet is not regulated or controlled by any one entity. So parents and schools have a responsibility to educate children about its safe and appropriate use.

It is imperative that parents and students report unsafe incidents to law enforcement so that offenders can be apprehended and prosecuted. 

CyberSafety Hotline: 301-279-3669
