Open Connections
We believe that all people are naturally curious.
What if learning could look like this?
Curious about homeschooling but not sure where to begin? Wondering what “unschooling” actually looks like in real life? Or simply curious about how Open Connections fits into the broader landscape of educational choice?
Join us Wednesday, August 5 for an Introduction to Homeschooling, Unschooling & Open Connections. This is a welcoming, low-pressure opportunity to explore what learning outside of conventional schooling can look like.
We’ll talk about homeschooling and unschooling in Pennsylvania, share more about the philosophy behind this approach to learning, and offer a closer look at how Open Connections supports young folks and families along the way.
We’ll explore the freedom and responsibility that come with this path, the many ways curiosity can shape a young person’s experience, and the role that community plays in making the journey meaningful.
Whether you’re just beginning to wonder “Could this be right for our family?” or you’re already on an unconventional educational path and looking for connection, we’d love to have you join us.
Come with questions and hopefully leave with a better sense of what’s possible.
We are all Natural Learners.
At Open Connections we empower young people and adults to create the life they want, full of purpose and fulfillment.
We do this by offering programs that nurture a healthy connection to self, others, and learning through a variety of activities. When people leave Open Connections we hope that they are knowledgeable and comfortable in who they are; able to communicate their needs and wishes, and hear the needs and wishes of others, in a respectful and effective way; and prepared to tackle life’s challenges and opportunities using both creative and critical thinking skills. If this resonates with you, please consider joining us!

“I find that the skills I have learned throughout my time at Open Connections and as a homeschooler are valuable and I will continue to use them for years to come. I appreciate that I have the freedom to choose what I want to focus on learning, and I feel like I have a lot of control over how I want my life to go because of that level of freedom.” – Eva, OC Alumna
