Welcome to Open Valley School

Welcome to Open Valley Independent Study (OVIS), an alternative educational opportunity for the Patterson Joint Unified School District students. This unique educational program allows students a great deal of flexibility in choosing coursework from various settings, including courses offered in the traditional PJUSD classrooms through approved distance learning or online formats or courses taken directly on a one- to-one basis with a certified OVIS teacher. As a recognized alternative to regular classroom study, the independent study option is expected to be substantially equal in quality and quantity to classroom instruction (Education Code Section 51745).
