Mission & Values

Our mission is to create an environment where students can develop a balance between discipline and critical thinking. We believe that it is essential to think critically and creatively—especially in this ever-changing world of ours. Our children should grow up to be innovators, tackling problems only the next generation could solve. It'll take hard work and resilience to face their challenges. We desire to help them keep this delicate balance every step of the way. We empower our students by teaching them discipline and critical thinking so that they may become successful in every area of their lives—today and in their future to come.

Going Green

To aide in the world's effort to Go Green, Optimus employs an online paperless system called MyOLS that can be accessed online and is home to all of our course materials (homework, in-class writing programs, etc.).

Teamwork

We understand how crucial it is to be able to work well with others in life. At Optimus, we start building these skills in our students as early as possible.

Creativity

Creativity is what allows a person to think on their feet. We push our students to “stretch their creativity muscles” as often as possible so that they will be ready to take on anything.

Payment Policies

It is common policy at most learning centers to charge a registration fee upon signing up your son or daughter. At Optimus, we believe the quality of our services speaks for themselves, and we see no need to charge you a nonrefundable, upfront fee. We pride ourselves on the fact that our clients can test our services with no financial obligation.

Pickup Policies

At Optimus, we enforce a pickup time schedule throughout the school year. A pickup schedule helps create a more beneficial learning environment for our students. In order to help students concentrate on their work during class time, we ask parents to pick up their students during the scheduled break times to keep a distraction-free learning environment. During class time, we keep the doors locked to avoid interruptions.

DOJ & FBI Clearances

Prior to hiring any new employees, Optimus requires that a background check be performed on the applicant. This means that the applicant must get fingerprinted at a government-approved fingerprinting facility. Optimus has been approved by the Department of Justice to receive these background checks of the applicant’s criminal history. Providing a safe environment for our students is of utmost concern for Optimus and is taken into account when making each and every hiring decision. For more information, please read our blog.
