Opportunity started as a need, developed into a program, and expanded into a vision.
Due to the success of the Opportunity Program at Grace Christian School in Cypress, CA, key leaders developed a vision to help other private schools establish Opportunity Programs to serve more children and their families. After 10 years of success in one location, it was time to make the Opportunity model available to other private and faith-based schools.
"Though establishing a program to help students with learning challenges can seem like an overwhelming task, I can affirm that Opportunity Schools can make it possible."
Ed Carney, Head of School, Saddleback Valley Christian School
Since 1990 Opportunity Schools has been “inventing the wheel” so you won’t need to “reinvent” it. We've done the research and development on the instructional programs that work, the right training programs for teachers, assessment and evaluation procedures and tools that teachers can administer.
