Mission Statement
Our mission is to develop connection, capability, and confidence in disconnected youth through relationship-based, quality learning experiences that result in academic, personal, and community success. Open School inspires community, sparks learning and transforms lives through Academics, Equity and Advocacy. 86% of our students are low-income, and 75% are youth of color.
Description
Open School is a college-prep program for the kids who have fallen the furthest behind. Our students are confident, capable, and connected. They belong. They learn. They graduate, go to college, and pursue meaningful careers. We know they have it in them. All they need is an education that gits, and teachers who believe in them. They find that with us. We know which kids are most likely to drop out of traditional schools. We find them. We surround them with what they need to graduate and get ahead - advocacy to be their best, equity to spark learning, and rigorous academics to succeed in the modern economy. It's school reinvented.
