We are proud to collaborate with La Trobe University’s Science of Language and Reading (SOLAR) Lab, led by Professors Pamela Snow and Tanya Serry. This partnership ensures that our approach to literacy instruction is grounded in the latest scientific research. By integrating evidence-based practices into classroom teaching, we are enhancing student success in reading, writing, and spelling. Through this collaboration, our staff are equipped to deliver targeted, effective literacy programs that set students up for lifelong success.

​

Our teaching philosophy is anchored in explicit instruction, where complex skills are broken down into manageable steps, paired with clear guidance, structured practice, and timely feedback. This method builds student confidence and mastery, supporting a seamless journey from foundational learning to independent achievement.

​

At OLHC, we believe in fostering a structured and supportive learning environment that nurtures every student’s potential. We provide consistency in teaching practices while creating an inspiring space where critical thinking, creativity, and resilience flourish.

​

Our commitment to excellence is further enriched by our partnership with families, who play a vital role in supporting their children’s curiosity and growth. Together, we cultivate a nurturing community where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

​

OLHC is more than a school—it’s a place where learning, collaboration, and community come together to inspire a lifelong love of learning in every child.
