Core Learning
During daily Core Learning time, students work in the areas of math, reading, writing, social studies, and science. Small classes mean that students can work at their current level with support from a teacher, and also be challenged to learn more.

Preparing for Field Research
Our curriculum is built for both Project Learning and Core Learning, so our four in-person excursions each year allow for field research that directly relates to what is learned in class.
Social & Emotional Learning
OWO students also spend time dedicated to developing self-awareness, emotional regulation, collaboration skills, healthy boundaries, and leadership skills, for both in-person and online spaces.
A Community of Gifted Learners
Our Community Time allows students to feel connected, and many have found a place where they belong at OWO.
Open Window Online provides a challenging academic curriculum blended with nurturing support from teachers that prepares students for long-term success.
