In-Person Field Trips

Our field trip coordinators organize local field trips in each state, sharing opportunities through Facebook groups and our community newsletter so families can explore museums, parks, and cool destinations together. It's a great way to turn learning into adventure while connecting with other OpenEd families in your area.

Email pl@opened.co if you're interested in being a field trip coordinator for your area.

Epic Book Battle

Students form teams and compete in reading challenges that span weeks of literary adventures. Each battle brings out everyone's competitive spirit while celebrating great stories.

Flex Fridays

Every Friday we bring all students together for breakout rooms packed with different activities—from show and tell sessions to Minecraft adventures. Students hop between themed rooms to connect with others who share their interests, making new friendships across age groups.

Clubs

Every month we launch new clubs that match what students are excited about right now. Students love discovering new interests while connecting with others who share their passions—and we're always adding more based on what they're asking for!

Here are a few clubs we did last year:

  • Lego Club
  • Disney Club
  • Gardening Club
  • Science Club
  • Chess Club
  • Pokemon Club
  • Minecraft Club
  • Cosmetology Club
  • Crochet Club
  • Engineering Club
ACT Prep Workshop

Our older students can join test prep workshops to get ready for their next steps. These supportive sessions help students build confidence and master the skills they need for college admissions. It's preparation that feels manageable when you're doing it alongside peers who understand the journey.
