Developed by the nonprofit educational organization Open School, Open School East is an innovative new school model that prepares students for success in college, career and community. Over recent years, Open School has seen a dramatic shift in its student population within Multnomah County—historically located in North Portland, the organization is now finding a greater need to serve the outer-eastside of Portland.
In an effort to better serve this changing student population, the new 21,000 sf Open School East will serve grades 7-12 at the crossroads of Portland and Gresham in the Rockwood Neighborhood. The architecture reinforces the school's model of learning: it provides space for opportunity. The new Open School East will ensure that underserved youth in the area have safe and inspiring places to learn, play, and socialize.
