OEC has everything we were searching for, a place where students are being prepared for the world around them, truly student centered, and all employees set students up for success. No rhetoric or invisible politics like most traditional public schools...they actually deliver on who they say they are. The teachers, staff, and head of school could easily provide training to others schools and model how to build genuine relationships with all students, expect excellence, and create a supportive and collaborative environment. They provide rigor via college courses, excellent classroom instruction by high school teachers, and balance integrity, passion, exploration, and innovation via clubs, Town Halls, Community Time, access to sports and other activities at the West Bloomfield High School, and community engagement opportunities. The school culture is absolutely amazing! Close Quote
