Open Mind School is built on the firm belief that all children deserve access to high-quality equal education alongside their peers. Students should actively participate in their own learning and everyone should have the opportunity to share thoughts, express emotions, and be heard by caring professionals through a total communication approach. Vision Open Mind School advocates a compelling call to action for schools to provide an equal education for students. OMS’s pilot model school presumes intelligence and provides students with access to grade level lessons and content. OMS emphasizes the social emotional development for children through innovative enrichment and support service programs. We hope to have a mixed demographic and demystify what a comprehensive inclusive model could look like in the educational system. Our research and approach documents significant gains across domains for students and we hope to help build up this model in other local schools.
