Omega School provides an alternative learning environment for adults wishing to improve their quality of life by expanding their education. Classes are structured to meet the individual student's specific needs. Our low student-to-teacher ratio enables our committed staff to create the kind of learning atmosphere which enables and encourages each student to take responsibility for his or her own achievements.
Specific services offered by Omega include help in basic skills and GED/HSED preparation.
Omega School provides education in the basic skills needed for successful learning. Omega's student/teacher ratio is never more than four to one. Students are encouraged to speak their mind in respect to their educational needs.
At Omega, our students are treated as adults. It is up to the student (not teacher or parent) to put forth the effort to succeed. It's all about THE STUDENT'S success, after all!
Our classroom environment is unlike any found in traditional schools. The comfortable and bright atmosphere, coupled with the warmth and friendliness of our instructors, help our students to feel at home.
Students attend classes two days per week, either Monday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday. Our classes are scheduled in two-hour blocks, with students attending a minimum of four hours per week.
Omega School is quite different from most people's idea of a ‘regular school’. Our hours are different. The days we offer classes are different. There are no school bells between classes. We encourage students to work at their own pace. Omega is geared more toward finding out what each individual student needs in order to succeed than a traditional school.
Omega School periodically conducts student orientation sessions. For information on an upcoming orientation, click here.
Our Friday Morning orientation sessions are designed to familiarize prospective students with our facility, the instructors and the learning environment at Omega School.
Enrollment forms will be available at the orientation session, or you may click here for an advance copy.
The first few times you study here, it will be to see if you like it, to see if we can work together, and to find out if Omega School is the right place for you. Omega School isn't for everyone. If you might do better in a different learning environment, we will explain why and we will provide you with a referral.
If you start attending Omega School and things don't work out, the staff reserves the right to ask you to stop coming and we will give your seat to someone else.
If you are unhappy about the book you are using, the teacher or tutor you are working with, or if another student bothers you, it's up to you to say something to one of the staff.
We will do what we can to improve whatever it is that you are unhappy about. You may also use Omega School's grievance procedure to file a formal complaint. That complaint may be taken to Omega School's Board of Directors to be settled.
Ask one of the staff for a copy of the grievance procedure if you need it.
