Opportunities for Learning (OFL) – Duarte is an independent study charter school located in Monrovia, California, designed to serve students who thrive outside of a traditional, five-day-a-week classroom environment. As part of a larger network of public charter schools, OFL-Duarte focuses on providing a flexible, personalized educational experience for students who may need to work at their own pace, balance outside responsibilities, or seek a different approach to their academic path. The school utilizes a blended learning model, combining independent study with one-on-one instructional support from credentialed teachers.

The program is specifically structured to help students recover credits, accelerate their progress toward graduation, or pursue college and career readiness in a smaller, supportive setting. Because it is a public charter school, it is tuition-free and caters to a diverse student body, including those who have struggled in conventional high schools or those who simply prefer a more self-directed curriculum. By emphasizing individualized attention and flexible scheduling, OFL-Duarte aims to remove common barriers to academic success and foster an environment where students can earn their diplomas while managing the unique demands of their personal lives.
