Our Collaborations
Since our founding in 2012, OPT has been working hard to build equitable relationships with the community we care for. Our goal has and always will be to connect families with the knowledge, support, and tools they need to achieve academic success. Over the last decade plus, this has taken shape in numerous ways as we collaborate with the educational organizations that effect them most.
We began working with ​​Breakthrough Miami in 2024 with the shared goal of connecting their students to the resources and knowledge they would need to succeed at the SAT and ACT college entrance exams.
​
The result was an annual Multi-day test prep bootcamp for Rising Juniors and Seniors that provides both group and individualized attention for their students! The bootcamp includes full-length SAT and ACT diagnostic exams, a question by question review, individual analyses of each student's results, and one-on-one feedback and consultations to develop their test prep plans.
​
After attending, students move forward with a deeper understanding of the standardized testing process, the exams themselves, and a plan for personal success.
The transition from middle to high school is often jarring for students as they are faced with different schedules, more responsibilities, and greater work loads.
​
When Ransom Everglades opened discussions with us about helping their younger students make that transition smoothly, we created the Executive Functioning Jumpstart event for their incoming Freshmen!
​
It includes an Executive Functioning Assessment for each student, and breakout activities where students can build and practice time management and organizational executive functioning skills
​
This short course allows their students to kickstart their Freshman year with the tools to succeed in their new environment.
Our collaboration with the Jewish Leadership Academy was designed to provide extra support and individualized attention for select students their administration and staff saw struggling in their academics.
​
The program we created for them facilitates open communication between our Directors, their administration, their families, and our tutors. This allows for informed and focused sessions that will help each enrolled student succeed in their courses.
In order to ensure each student always has easy access to this extra support, we provide weekly on campus and online sessions that are scheduled around important events and holidays.
As their students' first PSAT scores were released in 2025, St. Brendan saw great potential in their Sophomores to attain the National Merit Scholarship. They reached out to collaborate with us to help them realize that potential!
​
The National Merit Scholarship Program is a prestigious competition that awards college scholarships to top-scoring high school students. So we curated a 13 hour, one-on-one tutoring program complete with full-length practice exams for St. Brendan's highest scoring students.
​
The PSAT Prep Program is on-going and continues to help each new class of students at St. Brendan strive towards achieving their most competitive scores.
OPT worked with Christopher Columbus High School to provide their students with a personalized Academic Coaching Program.
​
We sent OPT Certified Academic Coaches directly to their campus to assist Columbus students in gaining executive functioning skills, as well as helping them manage any course assignments.
​
This program helped engrain good study habits and organizational skills for long term improvement and self-sufficiency.
We partnered with True North to give their students their own test prep and AP prep programs right on their campus!
​​
The test prep consisted of classroom style sessions focused on core materials and strategies for the SAT and ACT exams. While the AP prep program provided classroom style sessions focused on passing AP finals.
