What Families Say

My son was greatly struggling with the expectations of in-person public school. With the help of OpenEd, we have been able to personalize his education. He went from being behind in math, to being about one grade level ahead, and has recovered his joy for learning

—OpenEd parent

In 3rd and 4th grade, my daughter studied voiceover techniques and production in her tech class. This year she has completed three paid recording sessions with them, and has opened her first bank account! She is so excited to have a real skill that she can market at age 10!

—OpenEd parent

My child is on the autism spectrum. OpenEd has enabled her to learn at home and be reimbursed for the approved materials I have chosen, while still taking two classes at the local high school. OpenEd has allowed her to have a normal, teenage life.

—OpenEd parent

We were nervous about pulling our kids out of public school, but since we have, they have all been at least ahead in one subject or another – just letting my kids do what they’re interested in.

—OpenEd parent

We have loved the freedom of choice it gives the kids in choosing what they want to study and how. It helps integrate those with technology so that they’re not just well educated, but they have the skills to work in today’s world.

—OpenEd parent

My daughter was diagnosed with a life-threatening chronic health condition. Thanks to OpenEd, we could get more rest in the morning and start school later. At 16, she has completed 98 college credits through OpenEd’s early college options.

—OpenEd parent

My son had a very rough time in public school. OpenEd is perfect for him. He can craft his own curriculum (under parental supervision) and the contact he has with his teacher is a no-pressure situation.

—OpenEd parent

My son had a very rough time in public school. He is definitely an outlier, as he is twice-exceptional: gifted and ADHD. We have found that OpenEd is perfect for him. He can craft his own curriculum (under parental supervision) and the contact he has with his teacher is a no-pressure situation. While public school is good for the average child, OpenEd is perfect for those who have different needs.

—OpenEd parent

We didn’t know at the time that my kid’s social battery got drained so quickly at school. Now he still goes for two classes at school and attends OpenEd. He went from being a C student at school to having a 4.0.

—OpenEd parent

We have loved the flexibility that we get through OpenEd. As long as they are making steady progress, they’re fine. It’s okay if they’re in one grade in one subject and in an entirely different one in another.
