  1. $52,525 spent. In the year leading up to launching the first academic year, Pacific Oaks Academy provided summer camps and a speaker series so that we could provide a liberal arts education for students in grades TK-6, assisting parents in the spiritual, academic, and physical formation of their children. The school summer camps offered daily instruction over two weeks of the summer to approximately 30 children. We also offered a speaker series which reached about 75 parents. These activities set the groundwork for the school's launch which welcomed 10 students in September '25. These events garnered community involvement and helped us fulfill our mission of assisting parents. We also provided faculty development for our teachers.
