Open Classroom

Love this school , the teachers, and the community connection it comes with. I love the gym class and all the extracurricular programs they provide. They really have a different approach for learning.

This is an amazing school I've been going here sense 3rd grade. I love it.

Awesome school went there for 8 years and had the time of my life.

The essence of the Open Classroom is to create a community of learners. Community is at the heart of the school, for the children, the teachers, AND the parents & families. We have loved the genuine care for every child and their unique needs. It has been such a gift for me, as a parent, to not only have seen my own child grow up from Kindergarten to (now) 5th grade, but to have witnessed the growth of so many of his Kindergarten buddies also. All these kids have a circle of caring adults around them. The school fosters relationships, self-expression, and learning. And I've made a ton of new friends as well!

My daughter is over half way done with Kindergarten here at Open Classroom. Our family’s experience at this school has been wonderful. Some of my favorite things about this school are: 1. Teachers are freed up to spend more time teaching due to parent participation. 2. Teachers are able to help children at different learning levels better due to parent involvement. 3. You always know what is happening in your child’s life because the teacher sends you weekly emails and you are always allowed in the classroom. 4. Parents get to be as involved as they want. 5. I just moved to this area and I found instant friends and community at this school. 6. The level of safety at this school is heart warming because there are adult eyes everywhere. 7. Your child grows up in a school where parent participation is normal (7th and 8th graders think it is normal to have you around). 8. It is amazing to be at a school where we get to do many field trips.

We have been at this school for three years after trying several other charter schools. We have absolutely loved the Open Classroom. The open community, focus on whole child learning, and the problem solving practices have enriched my family's lives. There are so many opportunities for growth and exploration. We love the OC
