THE OVERSTORY

Embellished Color_Large-Digital.png

The Oaks Academy logo is called The Overstory.  Our motto plantatio domini–"the planting of the Lord"lies on an open book, symbolizing our commitment to the Scriptures and the Classics.

​

At the center of the shield is a cross, our commitment to a Christ-centered education. The stars of four and three represent the cardinal and theological virtues. These also glimmer as the seven liberal arts. 

​

Look closely, and you will spot the leaves of four oak trees native to Western PA: chestnut, black, red, and white. These correspond to each of the four years at The Oaks.
