📚 We’re wrapping up our National Book Month series with Lower School Principal Louise Raffa and her favorite, Love by Leo Buscaglia.

For Louise, the book is a reminder that education is about more than developing the mind. It’s also about shaping the heart and recognizing the unique potential in every child.

A fitting note to end a month spent celebrating the books that inspire OAO’s school leaders. 📖

No home office? No problem. 💻🏡

A great learning space doesn’t need built-in bookshelves, a giant desk or a room dedicated to school.

Sometimes, it’s one end of the kitchen table, a quiet corner of the living room or a small desk that works perfectly for your student.

We’re sharing simple ways to create a comfortable, focused home learning space using the space you already have.

📚 Our National Book Month series continues!

This week, we’re featuring Middle School Principal Kortni Spaulding and her favorite, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.

For Kortni, it’s a reminder that joy and community can grow in the most unexpected places, something that resonates deeply with what we’ve built together at OAO.
