Open Connections
Sometimes the best way to learn about a place is through the words of those who have come before you.
A powerful gift our parents gave us was the belief that we not only have the right, but the responsibility, to create our own happiness. Life is a journey, and we continue to create and adjust, when necessary, to build lives that meet our goals and needs, as well as fuel our passions.

OC made me a more confident public speaker, more comfortable around adults, and encouraged me to see people of all ages as my peers.

Some of my best friends in the entire world are people I met during my time at OC.
-Liam Snead, OC Alum
The biggest thing that OC taught me was that different children are ready for different things at different times in their development.
-PJ Prest, Alum
In high school and college, I always did well in problem-solving situations relative to my peers. I think I owe this in part to all the puzzles and thinking games we used to do in Tuesday Tutorial.
-Dan Gaeto, OC Alum
I believe that it is critical that alternatives to traditional education exist and OC is a consummate leader in this field.
