What distinguishes our schools from all others is the quality of teacher – student engagement that takes place every day in our centers.

OFL exposed and prepared me for a more college-like environment and study habit skills.

Our focus has always been to work with students who seek an alternative to a structured classroom, where they can be mentored by a teacher and take more responsibility for their own educational experience.

It is awesome! It is a carefree and friendly environment. I don’t feel the stress that I felt at my previous high school. My schedule is flexible which is good for me. I enjoy the SGI classes and all the teachers at my school are very helpful and friendly.

I love the school and the way it works, it has me setting higher goals for myself. I love being able to redo a lesson if I don’t understand it instead of just moving forward.
Student
Whenever I got stuck on something, my math teacher would sit there and go over it with me or explain it piece by piece on the whiteboard. I feel like my education is way more important to the people here than anywhere else.
Student
All the teachers here are very friendly and make an effort to make you feel comfortable and actually give you help. I am so happy I am attending OFL because I learned so much through SGI classes and fun field trips.
Student
I actually would highly recommend students to go to this school, because it’s bully free, it’s not a peer pressuring environment. All the staff are really nice, and if you work hard you can catch up on credits quickly, and or graduate early.

I love the flow of how OFL is run and I love how I’m able to go at my own pace without getting off track. Also, OFL increased my maturity and responsibility.
Students learn how to be independent leaders and work at a pace that corresponds with their learning style.

It’s really nice and calm and my teacher motivates me to get my work done.
OFL teachers care about the success of their students. Support, counseling, and free tutors are available to every student so they can complete their assignments and graduate on time.

I love OFL, I feel that I’m actually learning and the Pathways trips are amazing.
