COMPANY OVERVIEW

Founded in 2013 by Pierre Dubuc and Mathieu Nebra, Open Classrooms is a mission‑driven, B Corp–certified online school dedicated to making education and in‑demand careers accessible to everyone.

The school offers a wide range of free, open‑access courses, as well as accredited programs in fields such as tech, data, education, marketing, HR, renewable energy, and healthcare and social services. All courses are designed and produced in‑house, following a hands‑on learning model that combines real‑world projects with guidance from professional mentors.

In 2025, Open Classrooms received accreditation from the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), enabling learners to earn fully accredited associate’s, bachelor’s, or master’s degrees. Learners can choose to combine their studies with employer‑sponsored apprenticeships, earning a debt‑free degree while gaining paid, real‑world experience, or focus solely on online learning to build skills and earn an accredited diploma or certification.

Over 43,000 learners reported in 2024 that Open Classrooms helped them advance their careers—demonstrating the impact of practical, skills‑based learning as a driver of meaningful employment.

Our goal: to become a leader in solutions for apprenticeships and professional retraining.
