Based in Portland, Oregon, the mission of Open School is to develop connection, capability, and confidence in disconnected youth through relationship-based, quality learning experiences that result in academic, career, and community success. Open School serves hundreds of young people each year with three programs: Open School East Middle School, Open School East High School, and Step Up. Visit www.openschoolnw.org for more information.
