WHY OWNCS?

OWN Charter Schools are exceptional places for young people to learn and grow. Since opening our doors, we have been committed to providing our diverse student body with an outstanding education grounded in the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy—an approach that emphasizes active inquiry, global-mindedness, experiential learning, and social justice.


As an IB-affiliated school community, we prepare students to become independent thinkers, compassionate leaders, and lifelong learners. Through rigorous, concept-driven instruction and meaningful real-world connections, our students are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and take ownership of their learning while developing a strong sense of responsibility to themselves and others.


I am incredibly proud of the progress and success we have achieved, and none of it would be possible without the unwavering support of the OWNCS community. Our families, educators, and partners play an integral role in helping our schools grow stronger each year.
