Oak
Lane Day School is an independent,
co-ed elementary school that honors each child's unique individuality
while fostering intellectual, creative, academic and personal growth within
a diverse community of active, engaged learners.
Conceived
as a place where all students
would be welcome regardless of race, religion or nationality, Oak Lane
was founded on the principles of progressive education. The ideal of individualized
education to serve a diverse and inclusive student population has shaped
Oak Lane to this day. Our teaching heritage includes a strong emphasis
on the arts and music.
Oak
Lane is nestled on a 30-acre
country campus in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, at the intersection of Stenton
Avenue and Butler Pike in Whitpain Township, and is in close proximity
to Chestnut Hill and Mount Airy. The School's pastoral environment is
warm, serene and inviting to children, and rapidly becomes a second home
for our students.

Luther King Jr Day Community Service Projects
Take
a tour through our day on January 21, first to make peanut &
butter sandwiches (1,370 of them!) at Oak Lane for the Stenton Family
Manor, then to Sunrise Assisted Living in Lafayette Hill where our
orchestra and chorus members delighted the crowd. The last stop
was to the Evergreen Adult Day Center in Chestnut Hill. Students
and family members played games and made crafts together with the
seniors. |
Winterlude
2007: Bread and More Bread!
Watch
as a pile of bricks was transformed into an oven, when a sourdough
starter that has traveled the world for 180 years arrived here to
make our bread rise, and when a master builder and baker, Dorise
Kowalewski, brought her knowledge and experience to teach us all,
big and small, how to make the most delicious bread ever. |
