Open School's progressive programs are rooted in the tenets of open and constructivist education and self-directed learning. The district's only K-12 school, Open's academic program is designed for self-motivated and independent learners who want a family-like environment.
The school emphasizes hands-on and project-based experiences and regards the community as a valuable resource for learning. Developing and building on mastery of essential academic skills and knowledge, Open School strives to develop human beings who, by senior high, are able to take leadership roles in the school community and are poised to enter post-secondary training programs or colleges. Students work in multi-age groups at their own levels.
Graduation requires the completion of a comprehensive portfolio addressing essential learnings in alignment with standards. Narrative evaluations provide feedback to students taking a variety of engaging classes.
Special Features:
- Because Open School serves students in grades K-12, all children in a family can attend this school at the same time.
- All students participate in an advisory program that fosters supportive relationships between students and teachers. Parents and community members are highly valued as partners in the development of students.
