Open Doors Re-engagement Program
The State of Washington is funding another way to help students finish high school. Open Doors is a free program and has greater flexibility than a traditional high school to re-engage struggling students.
Market Square Education and a Washington State school district are partnering to serve students who have detached from their schooling. This public-private partnership expands opportunities for students. Blending the structure of public education with the flexibility of private education removes barriers and encourages students to think beyond high school and about their future.
Program Requirements
- Must be between the ages of 16-21
- At risk of dropping out (or have already dropped out)
- Significantly credit deficient
- Take placement tests for ELA and math within 30 days of starting the program
The Market Square Open Doors program is designed around the student. The student has great flexibility to earn credits faster than traditional and other alternative options. Starting slow is okay. Hitting the ground running and getting done fast are fine. Whatever the need, Market Square Open Doors brings education back into a student’s life.
Courses can be done anywhere, anytime. Most of them will be online. Weekly meetings are scheduled with the student and their teacher in person, over the phone, or virtually to support students. This interaction is designed for support, guidance, and accountability.
Regardless of the reason, students who have struggled in school need a sense of autonomy, academic success that builds toward life after high school, and connection with adults who care about them. Market Square Education understands that students have different educational needs and learn in different ways. We are committed to finding the solution that fits each student’s needs.
Start anytime – even mid-year. Students can even attend throughout the summer to complete their learning journey.
