Ocean Alternative Education Center

Ocean Alternative Education Center provides education and support that meets the needs of families and their children who desire a home and community-based educational experience.

Ocean Alternative Education Center (OAEC) was established in the spring of 1995. The school began with four students and has grown to our current enrollment of 77 students in grades K-8. Credentialed teachers work with families to provide individualized educational support, resource and reference guidance, classes, workshops and personal contact with the help of our support staff.

As a home-based independent study program, the connection between parents, students, and our staff is of utmost importance. The educational guidance and resource referral from the teaching staff shapes the unique learning process set up to meet the needs of each individual student. The opportunity to customize learning for students, in addition, to our community network and blended learning opportunities bring families to choose Ocean Alternative. Our staff’s educational expertise and understanding of our philosophy give parents the confidence to make this educational choice for their children.
