Changing Society One Child at a Time
At the end of the day, Opportunity Schools is all about the students that we touch — the lives that are changed and the families that re-discover hope after dealing with a wall of frustration.
There is nothing more inspiring and motivating than hearing the stories and successes from our parents
and administrators — confirmation that since our founding in 1990, Opportunity Schools is
meeting our goals of effecting change in society one child at a time.

at Bethany School in Long Beach, California from Kindergarten through 8th grade.
Be inspired as you hear Shawn and his parents testify how the Opportunity Program
impacted Shawn's life AND the quality of their family life, too.
