OUR APPROACH
Osa Jungle Academy (OJA) was established by a passionate group of local parents committed to providing a sustainable platform for our pre-teens and teens. We prioritize community and aim to meet the diverse needs of our youth through engaging programs and resources.
​" The goal is that as they become young adults, they are equipped academically, socially and emotionally to step with ease onto the world stage and pursue whatever careers or passions they desire. "
As children reach the age of 9 and beyond, they significant physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. This evolution is mirrored in educational systems globally, with transitions such as moving from elementary to middle school in the US and from primary to secondary education in the UK. Other countries implement similar changes to accommodate these developmental milestones.
​Our mission is to create a safe and engaging learning environment where children can develop, think critically, explore their identities. We aim to equip them academically, socially, emotionally, so as they grow into young adults, they are prepared to pursue their careers and passions confidently.
Parents play a crucial role in guiding their child's interests. This creates a three-way partnership between the student, parent, and school, emphasizing open communication to navigate the most effective and enriching learning journey for each student.​
​" It is important that students witness a wide range of teaching styles and personalities, that reflect that colorful and vibrant world we live in. "
OJA is a platform where children learn from subject matter experts and are inspired by diverse career stories. It serves as a space for educators to reflect on their journeys, collaborate with fellow adventurers, and co-create meaningful learning experiences. We believe it's crucial for students to encounter various teaching styles and personalities, showcasing the vibrant world we live in.
