The “OA WAY” guides all teaching and learning at Ocean Academy.
By following the OA SEaTIDE model of learning, and being mindful, students find their personal passion or brilliance, gain experience making money and creating legacy using their passion, and are prepared for a meaningful future of
success.
OA SEaTIDE: Model of Learning
OA emphasizes hands-on, real-world, experiential learning to develop creative, critical-thinking leaders.
SEaTIDE is an acronym that represents the following key education components:
• Social Enterprise: Our student-led businesses fund our education while we grow as entrepreneurs and innovators.
• Technology: We are not just users of technology, we are creators of technology.
• Innovation: We think outside of the box to solve challenges and create opportunities.
• Development: We preserve our heritage and create our future.
• Education: We learn via research-based strategies from around the world.
The OA Way represents the path that OA students follow to prepare for success during high school and after graduation.
1. Be Mindful: Prepare Your Mind and Emotions for Success.
Be: Respectful, Professional, Positive
2. Know Your Passion: Find Your Personal Brilliance
Be: self-aware, well-rounded, and immersed in the real world.
3. Make Money: Experience Making Money via Your Passion
Be: innovative, driven, and financially literate.
4. Create Legacy: Be the Change You Wish to See in the World
Be: socially responsible, visionary, collaborative.
On March 22, Ocean Academy students celebrated the beginning of Easter Break with a House Competition.
For those unfamiliar, the house system is a traditional feature of schools in the United Kingdom. The practice has since spread to Commonwealth countries and the United States.
The school is divided into subunits called "houses" and each student is assigned to one house at the moment of enrollment.
Houses may compete with one another at sports and maybe in other ways, thus providing a focus for group loyalty.
OA houses are Marlins, Sharks, Ospreys & Stingrays.
