Philosophy

Flexibility, self-confidence, and a continued desire for learning are the primary goals of The Open School program. Teachers function to guide the students’ activities through individualized learning that meets each child’s needs. Activities are geared to interest and excite the child and to involve him or her in the learning process.  We believe in learning through a wide variety of methods and teaching the whole child.

We have a large playground that we utilize for year-round active learning.  We believe in learning through play and engaging children in the process.

The Open School is committed to remaining open to new ideas from students, parents, and teachers. Parents are encouraged to participate in the school’s program whenever, and in whatever manner, possible.   We ensure that we incorporate the common core of skills and the common core of knowledge taught in the public schools and in accordance with the Wyoming Early Learning Standards and the Wyoming Department of Education requirements.
