🐴 OSIEL Girls' Retreat! 💕

Some of our girls enjoyed a fun-filled day of team-building activities, horseback riding, and a visit to the Oklahoma State University campus! 🎓

It was a great opportunity to strengthen friendships, build confidence, and create lasting memories.

Empathy and Innovation...

Inspired by Out of My Mind, our students designed tools, products, and systems to help people with disabilities communicate, learn, move, participate, or become more independent. Their challenge: address a real-world need with a respectful, practical solution.
Students developed their own ideas and drew blueprints first. Only afterward did they use AI to give their designs a more professional presentation.

Take a look at the pictures to see their creativity! Each design reflects students’ thinking about accessibility and how thoughtful inventions can support independence and participation!

Paws, purpose, and community in action!

​So proud of our Power of One students for volunteering at the Humane Society of Tulsa today. Whether helping behind the scenes or giving love to shelter animals waiting for their forever homes, our students showed how individual actions truly make a difference.

​Thank you to the incredible staff at the Humane Society of Tulsa for having us! ❤️

We had an unforgettable, informative Oklahoma History field trip!

Our adventure included exploring the Great Salt Plains, searching for selenite crystals, touring the incredible Alabaster Caverns, and visiting a couple of museums along the way.

Students had the opportunity to experience Oklahoma’s history, geology, and culture firsthand while spending time together outside the classroom!

One of the things we love most about homeschooling, and about OSIEL, is the flexibility it gives students to take advantage of meaningful opportunities as they come along. Kross is doing exactly that.

This semester, Kross is stepping into an incredible real-world opportunity in cybersecurity and drone technology. She will be working through the Oklahoma Cyber Innovation Institute (OCII) at The University of Tulsa, alongside Gargoyle Systems, which is partnering with TU to develop cutting-edge drone detection technology.

Kross will build, test, and operate drone detection technology in the lab on TU’s campus. One of the company’s owners is personally mentoring her, giving her the opportunity to learn about the technology and the business from the inside. She’ll also work alongside members of TU’s cybersecurity team and professors connected to the program while working toward her FAA drone pilot certification.

This is such a great example of what can happen when students have the flexibility to pursue opportunities beyond a traditional classroom. Real learning can happen in a university lab, inside a business, through mentorship, and by working alongside professionals in the field.

At OSIEL, we want students to build the skills, confidence, connections, and independence to recognize opportunities like this and be ready to step into them.

We’re excited to see where this experience takes Kross and what she learns along the way. Way to go, Kross!
