What is OpenDoor Academy?
We offer a collaborative model of education! We offer classical Christian academics at an affordable price while allowing families to continue playing a major role in their children’s education. Our goal is to offer excellent education that prepares students and gives them the skills they need to be successful as well as equipped to be critical thinkers, hard workers, good time managers, ambassadors for Christ and more.
What is classical education?
Classical Christian education is a time-tested educational system which integrates a biblical worldview through all subjects, incorporates methods based on natural phases of child development, trains students in reasoning, and engages children in classical literature.
Why OpenDoor Academy?
OpenDoor Academy partners with families to educate children while maintaining the quality family time we crave in this fast paced society. Families can prioritize the activities most important to them and their children, providing ample time to dig deeper into subjects that fascinate and drive their children while providing accountability in all subjects.
Here at OpenDoor Academy, your child will be taught by teachers who love the Lord and have a passion for students. Everything will be taught from a Biblical worldview. Our maximum class size is 15 students.
With our schedule, your child will receive two days of instruction with a teacher and peer interaction with three days of study at home.
We want you and your child to feel safe on campus. Our doors stay locked throughout the day, and we have armed security on campus at all times.
