"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."
"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."
