Help us open the doors

Outside The Box Thinking is a tuition-free public charter school coming to California's Central Coast.

We're creating the learning environment where all kids can thrive.

Your tax-deductible gift will help us get there.

Public schools receive public funding when they open.

Once OTB opens its doors, it will be funded like any other public school, tuition free. But this funding doesn't begin until the first day of school.

Everything between now and then - the administrative costs for the application process, the legal work, the facility, the utilities, the insurance, the desks, the books, the curriculum development, our first teachers — this all has to be paid for before our school opens. This is the gap your gift fills.

Help us create a rich learning environment for out of the box thinkers.
