Outstanding Toledo Teen Wins First Ever Charter School Scholarship Schools Sponsored by the Ohio Council of Community Schools Begin Classes This Week OCCS Takes Steps Forward, State Ratings Show Choose to learn, learn to chooseImagine educational choices and educational chances. Imagine a teacher who cultivates and fosters the potential of each student. Imagine a school authorizer who's main interest is focusing on students, their achievements and partnering to provide responsible options in public education. Discover Community Schools, where choices are greater. The difference can be found in the focus. Community Schools place a top priority on the individual. Children receive flexible, personalized, and distinctly different academic opportunities, with programs ranging from the traditional to those geared toward the arts or specific vocations, curriculums that may be values based or intended for children with special needs. Parents enjoy flexible hours – teachers are available during extended time periods, conferences are scheduled to accommodate working schedules, and kindergarten programs are often full-day sessions.

Community Schools
are free, public, and open to all students. And although they offer
flexibility in curriculum, hours, and policies, Community Schools must
still meet the same rigorous standards that govern traditional District
Schools. Yet by deliberate and thoughtful design, Community Schools
are free to meet and respond to the unique needs of each student. This dedication to excellence and commitment to children are
hallmarks of OCCS Community Schools.
It's about choice...
It all comes down to choice. School choice is the right choice for children. And OCCS is the right choice for Ohio.
To learn more, or to explore the opportunities that Community Schools can give to your child, please contact us. Visit a nearby OCCS Community School, or plan to attend an open house. You’ll soon discover that when you choose to learn, when you learn to choose, everyone wins.
