Back-to-School with Sage Oak’s Personalized Learning Academy: Flexibility, Support, OakSchool, Sage Crates, and Events

In this episode, host Tiffiny Webster welcomes back Personalized Learning Academy (PLA) Assistant Principal Kiley Duncan, who shares how PLA serves TK–8 as a flexible independent study program built on strong parent involvement and partnership with a credentialed teacher who helps create individualized learning plans, select curriculum, plan field trips, and provide accountability. Kiley discusses strategies for families with multiple children, including combining subjects, using classes to balance the day, and maintaining a schedule and dedicated learning space. She highlights OakSchool’s expanding live and asynchronous offerings, including more core classes and a new performing arts-focused art teacher, and introduces Sage Crates as vetted, curated curriculum bundles for families who want a one-stop option. They preview field trips, four socials (including living history, career fair, and end-of-year events), new locations, and recommend Sage News and the website for updates and enrollment.
