OSIEL
The Oklahoma School of Innovation & Experiential Learning (OSIEL) is a nontraditional form of homeschooling that provides an education unlike any found within the state. We promote relevant, project-based learning and prepare students for a 21st-century education. Our studies encourage creativity, time management, and applicable technology. Furthermore, immersive travel is taken throughout the year to supplement our learning.
We deliver an experiential form of education with a C-STEM emphasis. Our instruction incorporates robotics, computer programming, and teamwork throughout the year. Our primary goal is for the students to use information and collaboration to research, design, and create in a manner that positively changes the world around them.
Travel reinforces student learning and provides lifelong experiences to further elevate the quality of education. Our students have traveled throughout Oklahoma and to other locations such as Dallas, Boston, Kansas City, San Antonio, Puerto Rico, Peru, Spain, and Italy.
OSIEL serves students from grades 6-12. Our class sizes do not exceed 18 students, allowing for quality individual instruction, feasible travel, and strong family involvement.
OUR VISION
Every child is born with an imagination. It is our job to cultivate this creative process, not hinder it. Providing opportunities within the C-STEM discipline to design, collaborate, and create are the primary educational goals of OSIEL. Furthermore, we extend the realm of academia beyond the four walls of a classroom by providing travel as a way to further our students' understanding. Whether it is learning more about a person, place, or process, our educational trips are an invaluable way to reinforce our curriculum. After all, experience is the best teacher.
