Our son just graduated from OA a week ago and I can say he is a new human being! 3 and a 1/2 months off of media and living in nature has changed his entire outlook on life. He is on fire to keep learning and to travel etc. If you're thinking about sending your kid here and they are interested, Definitely do it!!

The small class sizes, more one-on-one opportunities, and hands-on learning helped me excel in my academics and set me on a path to graduate early with honors. The community aspect of the semeste...
