Your Dream School is Now a Reality
Oasis Trilingual Community School is an inquiry-based program that challenges students with thematically-connected IB curriculum in Mandarin, Spanish and English.
Who We Are
Oasis is a full immersion school, so our teachers do not speak English when teaching in the Mandarin or Spanish classes. In addition to Mandarin and Spanish, we offer a holistic education incorporating social-emotional learning, P.E., STEM, art, music, filmmaking, gardening, cooking and monthly field trips!
Why Trilingualism
Oasis students are immersed in three languages every day. Our daily language percentages are 40% Mandarin, 35% English, and 25% Spanish. In addition to learning to speak, read, and write in three languages, our students also learn about the history and cultures of these countries through art, music, filmmaking, cooking, and our festive holiday celebrations.
Our students also practice using their language skills in other classes. Our math and science classes are in both English and Mandarin, and our Social Studies classes are taught in both English and Spanish. Our enrichment classes (art, music, P.E., gardening, filmmaking, and cooking) are also taught bilingually in either Mandarin or Spanish.
The cognitive benefits of learning a second language in early childhood are well researched, from better executive functioning, broader career opportunities, and the skills to travel and connect to the world with empathy, understanding, and cultural appreciation.
Our Community
Oasis has a warm, welcoming, and close-knit parent community. Our Oasis Parent Association (OPA) organizes many fun events for parents to attend to meet one another and get involved in their child's school. These events range from fun community fundraisers, like our Casino Night, to camping in Ojai and parent-led trips to Latin America.
If you want to get to know our school, we have weekly school tours, and host events throughout the year so prospective parents can see our students' abilities and achievements firsthand.
We very much look forward to meeting you!
