Ocean Day School was founded in the fall of 1982 with the goal and idea of operating as a fully functioning non-profit organization.
Each child has value and has something unique to contribute to the classroom and school.
It is our mission to know our students intimately in order to develop their full potential.
Each child is special with his own way of learning.
Some are visual learners, some are auditory learners, others are kinesthetic learners.
Many rely on multiple modalities in order to succeed. We take no chances and waste no time.
We believe it is imperative to immerse children in multi modality learning at an early age.
We believe that language is the basis of all learning and that learning must take place in a systematic sequence with continuity throughout the grades.
