We believe that all students deserve access to committed educators who are invested in their academic success

Our Mission

Open Door Education is dedicated to providing exceptional educational enrichment and support that benefits the community of families we serve. As educators, we believe in our students, and we are committed to helping them achieve their version of academic success. As guides, mentors, and advocates, we are committed to fostering a love of learning and an appreciation of hard, thoughtful work.

Personalized education environments have the power to transform a student through compassionate accountability, collaborative self-reflection, and consistent intentional practice. We believe in helping young people to grow as students, but also as young adults who will go into the world equipped with the skills and the passion necessary to be lifelong learners, leaders, and teachers.

Beyond the Classroom

Higher test scores and improved grades are important outcomes, but the true lasting impact of working with Open Door Education runs deeper. Our students develop a mature perspective on how they think and learn, an appreciation of hard and thoughtful work, and a compassionate self-awareness that helps them to be more effective and fulfilled at each stage of their academic and professional careers.
