FAQ’s:FAQ’s:  What is the difference between South Open, South All Nations, and South Liberal Arts? All of these programs are very similar... South Open is based in 4 principals (democracy, authenticity, academic challenge, and choice) and focuses on critical thinking skills through experiential learning (projects, teamwork, independence, etc.), social justice, building community, and lifelong learning (basically think Montessori!) South All Nations is a program made specifically for American Indian students and has unique classes such as Ojibwe language, Native Arts, with a focus on giving back to the Native community as well South Liberal Arts is like most high school classroom settings with community service hours also attached to graduation requirements (for Open and All Nations as well)
