Open Road is an alternative to school for teens (11-18 years old) who have been unhappy in the traditional school setting. We work with our teen members and their families to create individualized learning opportunities that are non-compulsory, self-directed, and relationship-driven. Open Road empowers teens to follow their natural curiosity and passions as they learn what, where, when, how, and with whom they want to. We want teens to live lives they love right now, and to inspire them to continue living that way for years to come. We believe that autonomy, gently guided by respectful, compassionate adult mentors, provides the ideal platform for teens to grow into the adults they will become.
