Imagine a world with unlimited opportunity and freedom for all children to pursue their full potential. That is, in part, what I work for every day. As an executive assistant, I support the people who work hard to achieve our goals for students. I help the team here at Open Sky Education do their jobs better. Open Sky Education works to ensure that world-class academics, character formation and faith-based educational choices are accessible and affordable for all. We create, support, lead, and grows a family of organizations including HOPE Christian Schools, EAGLE College Preparatory Schools, Compass Educational Programs and Soaring Education Services.
