What InnovOak School says it looks for in students
We are looking for students with a positive attitude, whether they are confident in their abilities or still discovering their strengths. Whether they are intrinsically motivated or need encouragement, we provide a supportive environment that helps them excel. Our focus on success nurtures students who are coachable, open to feedback, and able to translate that feedback into personal goals and growth.
Many of our students come from academic environments that may not prioritize students as individuals and learners, but rather view them as tools for social change. At InnovOak, we emphasize personal growth, offering a traditional approach with an innovative educational model. We value students who are resilient, adaptable, and willing to take positive risks in their learning.
Students should be willing to embrace independent work, critical feedback, and goal-setting. Whether shy or extroverted, students who thrive here are motivated to grow in areas like resilience, self-discipline, and critical thinking. We seek those who value a challenging, supportive environment where their growth as learners and individuals is the primary focus. -
