Choosing OLS for your college education.

Deciding to attend college is a big decision. At OLS you’ll explore your interests and consider potential careers. Once you decide what type of work you want to do, you’ll be supported in getting an internship and the opportunity to generalize the skills you need to be successful in the work place.


Ask yourself if this sounds like you:

  • I want a college education, but the traditional college environment isn’t for me
  • I have some work or volunteer experience
  • I can think critically and problem solve, but sometimes still need guidance
  • I have basic computer, math, and reading skills but need additional academic support
  • I often struggle with social skills or with making friends

You can learn more at an OLS Information Session.

I knew I wanted a degree after high school so I could teach in a child
center. With my OLS degree, I now work in a child care facility—and I even wrote a children’s book in 2016 that teaches them how to share.”
