The Oaks Treatment Center, in cooperation
with the University of Texas at Austin-University
Charter School, provides a high-quality
instructional program that is accredited by
The Texas Education Agency. All teachers
are required to be Highly Qualified under No
Child Left Behind, in the content areas they
teach. Teachers must hold a K-12 Special
Education certificate and, must be certified
through the State Board of Education.
Students at The Oaks Treatment Center engage in cooperative learning activities with
other students in the same grade level and course area. At UCS-The Oaks, the
educational staff implements Best Practices along with the state-mandated curriculum. In
addition, students will experience differentiated lessons that meet their individual
academic needs. This is unique to the vast majority of treatment centers, where students
are combined in classrooms with a multitude of different grade levels and subject areas.
This type of educational programming is very difficult and ineffective. At The Oaks, high
school students are able to earn credits towards graduation because they are
appropriately placed according to their grade level and subject area. This educational
model more appropriately replicates the programming provided in public school settings
and, therefore, facilitates a more seamless transition from the residential treatment
environment to a more traditional school setting.
