Australian research on Alternative Education gives props to the OSF:

KRISTIAN WALE in the WINSTON CHURCHILL FELLOWSHIP REPORT (AUSTRALIA) writes "the Oasis Skateboard Factory represents the best of educational programs to reintegrate students...It would be difficult to overstate the success and effectiveness of this brilliant program. Students are not only engaged in processes that they see as socially acceptable but where they earn highly valuable skills which equip them to participate in real-world work and
social interaction."
