OpenEd gives families the flexibility of homeschooling with the support and benefits of public education.
Your child enrolls through one of OpenEd’s partner public schools. That partnership provides funding and resources, but you direct the day-to-day education.
Once enrolled, eligible families can have Savvy tutoring fully covered (up to $2,500 per student).
