Oak Point Intermediate School

Oak Point Intermediate School is a fifth and sixth grade school that is located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. It is divided into four different atriums: Comet, Lightning, Star, and Wave. In each atrium is two floors, one for fifth grade classrooms, and the other for sixth grade classrooms. On each level is about five to six classrooms per atrium.

At Oak Point the specials are: Art, ,music and Gym, and three Languages (Spanish, French and Mandarin Chinese). At Oak Point, there are 21-Day rotations. Every other one is Phy Ed and Gym (they alternate days). Art is twice. However, in sixth grade, one of the rotations is swimming. 6th graders take one language class (Spanish) and Swimming. 5th graders take Mandarin Chinese and French.

There are several sayings referring to the atriums. They are as follows: Comet Makes You Vomit. Lightning is Frightening. Star is Too Far and makes you Bizarre. Wave Makes You Shave/Brave. For the Star saying, students agree that the "Far" could have been made because the hallway to Star is considerably longer than the hallways to the other atriums.

In math classes, there are three main levels. Regular Math (which is taught with a grade level equal to the student's own grade), Enriched Math (for Students who are able to learn more complex math skills, and is taught at a varying level), and Accelerated Math (for advanced math students, it can be taught at a 7th grade or higher level).
