Imagine School As Unique As Your Child

What if there were a school where no two students had the same schedule, every student chose their own curriculum, and tests didn't define their learning? Where outside learning counted for credit, families were trusted to know their child's needs, and education was built from the ground up around each child?

Welcome to OpenEd Academy.

How It Works

OpenEd Academy serves K-12 students nationwide and internationally by combining three essential elements:

  • Personalized learning that respects each child's uniqueness
  • Structured support from certified educators
  • Official credentials that open doors

Instead of choosing between support and freedom, we give you the best of both worlds.

What Makes Us Different

At OpenEd Academy, education adapts to your child, not the other way around. We believe every child deserves:

  • Learning that moves at their perfect pace
  • Curriculum that builds on their natural strengths
  • Support that guides without constraining
  • Credentials that reflect their true achievements
  • Freedom to explore their unique interests

"OpenEd has given my family the freedom to explore learning in ways that work for each of my three boys. This personalized approach has allowed my children to grow into themselves without the pressures of conforming, and I've watched them thrive in ways I never imagined possible."

Laura Feller
OpenEd Mom

"OpenEd gave me the courage to try homeschooling when I genuinely thought it was out of my reach. As a single mom to three boys, working a 9-5 job, I didn't see how I could make it work. Having access to free resources and a smorgasbord of support, I've been able to provide each of my children with a personalized education that is as unique as they are."
