Tabula Rasa is a Latin phrase that means "clean" or "blank" slate.
It gets it roots from the Romans who would use tablets for writing and then apply heat to wax to "clean" off the slate allowing it to be reusable. OSS is exactly our students' "tabula rasa".
Students come to us for a variety of reasons: low academic success, negative past choices in school and life, lack of hope or future mindset.
But because of God's grace, we seek to work with students to move forward despite previous experiences.
A clean slate is given to our students each and everyday (just as it is to all of us through our Savior) as we seek "Transformation through Education" with academic and behavioral integrity.
