Alternative Schools
Learning how to think, not what to think. Alternative schools teach students to find out where their strengths are, learn conflict resolution and other core values and prepare for life outside of the classroom.
Community Connection
February is a big month for us at Our Kids. We are launching our new podcast and blog for camp directors; we are going to keep reporting on students' who are raising money for Haiti relief and we are going to focus on making private school decisions as schools are begining to accept registrations for September 2010.
