"Our children are not standard."
Since 2009, our mission has been to inspire young people to discover, develop, and celebrate their uniqueness. Through OpenEd we invite parents and guardians to design an education experience that reflects each child's individuality.
About Matt & Amy Bowman
As parents, OpenEd founders Matt and Amy Bowman wanted more education options for their children. Combining Matt’s background in teaching and technology, and Amy’s dedication to raising fulfilled, happy children, they created a student-tailored education program that brings the best of homeschool and traditional school together. My Tech High is built on the idea that if something you want doesn’t exist, create it. Matt and Amy strive every day to inspire young people to discover, develop, and celebrate their uniqueness.
Our milestones over the years
OpenEd has evolved significantly since its inception. Our commitment to personalized education drives our journey.
2009
Founded in Utah
Matt and Amy Bowman established what was at the time called "My Tech High" with a powerful vision: let families find the best education for their children, free of cost. Starting with just 92 families in the first year, the company pioneered a new approach to personalized learning through partnerships with innovative public and charter schools.
2020
Oregon program launches
We expanded to Oregon, partnering with a forward-thinking public school to bring our personalized learning model across state lines for the first time.
2024
My Tech High becomes OpenEd
After serving over 100,000 students across multiple states, we rebranded as OpenEd and brought in new leadership. Isaac Morehouse and Jared Fuller take the torch from the Bowmans. This change reflects our mission to break down barriers between traditional school, homeschooling, and alternative education.
2025
OpenEd expands to seven new states
As homeschooling, hybrid learning, and microschools gain popularity nationwide, we continue expanding our reach. Through OpenEd, more families than ever can access our personalized learning program at no cost.

In addition to our core program that partners with public schools, we recognized a need for another option. We launched OpenEd Academy, an accredited, private school for parents who want the freedom of homeschooling with the structure and guidance of an education institution. The Academy is an independent virtual school that serves families nationwide and internationally.
