Campus
"From time to time there would be a unique stabalizing influence in my classes: a Waldorf school graduate. And they were different from the others"
Academe of the Oaks is located at 146-148 New Street in Decatur, Georgia. Just three blocks east of Agnes Scott College and one block west of the Avondale Marta Station, the private high school campus currently consists of two renovated buildings at the end of New Street.
The 146 building contains classrooms, a library, a faculty/administrative office, a lounge/kitchen area and two computer labs for use by students. The 148 building, known as the Loft, contains studio space as well as a large multi-purpose room that is used for music, movement, art shows, festivals, dances, recitals, and lectures.
LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Classrooms are not limited to indoor space. A covered workshop, ideal for a variety of practical and fine arts classes, including woodworking, clay, and basketry, is located on a raised pavilion that also accommodates basketball, volleyball, and other outdoor activities. Near the 146 building, an outdoor classroom provides opportunities for teaching outside in a wooded environment. A small Tuscan garden and a thriving vegetable garden complete the current campus.
