Welcome! A good school must be layered and multi-faceted; so must its web site. I invite you to engage fully OWN’s curriculum, mission, history, and educational philosophy on these pages. See what we are doing and what we have accomplished. In five short years, OWN has grown into a stellar place for learning and achieving.
After you explore our web site, I urge you to visit our school, especially during our Open Houses. Here you can see our mission and philosophy brought to life. The faculty in both the Elementary and Middle Schools use activities that guide children toward knowledge and meaning through imaginative exploration and the mastery of skills.
Our web site offers information about how OWN embraces parental involvement. If you are a prospective parent considering admissions for your child, examine the many ways parents involve themselves at the school and the relationships that the school tries to establish between home and school.
At OWN, learning is active: teachers guide as well as instruct. And children understand that the process of figuring something out is as important as the right answer. We think OWN is a remarkable place for children to grow and learn.
Respectfully,
Brian Ferguson
Chief Administrative Officer
