Welcome!

This year is the year to change the way you are educating your child!

Open Tent Academy (OTA) is an all-inclusive, online platform where homeschoolers (and “after-schoolers”) are able to take an array of courses, taught LIVE by instructors, who are experts in their fields.

We offer our families an exciting opportunity to change the way learning happens at home. Advances in educational technologies, along with ever-increasing broadband availability, now allow us to bring anyone, located anywhere in the world, a variety of quality courses, covering a wide array of topics and subjects.

OTA offers classes for homeschoolers, in grades K – 12, across three terms (Fall, Winter, and Spring). Courses are delivered in either 5-week, 10-week, 20-week or 30-week sessions. Our courses cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from traditional content courses to out-of-the-box, multi-disciplinary, project-based offerings.

During the summer months, OTA also offers additional short-term camps, classes, and workshops.

OTA courses take place on the following scheduled days and times: 9 am ET (6 am PT), 11 am ET (8 am PT), 1 pm ET (10 am PT), and 3 pm ET (12 pm PT) on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!

In general, class lengths range between 45 minutes (for our little learners) to 90 minutes for our older students.

Our classes are delivered live and online in a highly interactive virtual classroom environment that provides our families with an amazing experience. Students who are unable to attend live sessions are able to watch class recordings, which are available for viewing 24/7.

Our learning management system, Canvas by Instructure, is where students have access to all class materials online, at any time, from anywhere! Links to the virtual class sessions (and recordings) are posted there, along with class notes and presentations used during the live class, videos, homework assignments, announcements, discussion groups, and more!  All homework is submitted digitally via upload to Canvas, and learners can write their teachers directly using the Canvas Inbox.

Our OTA teachers provide both instruction and grading. At the end of each course, teachers will send out a final grade report (PDF file), and parents can ALWAYS look at their child’s grade book in Canvas throughout the semester. Finally, parents can always contact the instructor directly if they have any additional questions.

Come take a look at what Open Tent Academy is all about! You will love what you see!

Open Tent Academy is an inclusive and non-sectarian program, open to students from all backgrounds.
