OMS has partnered with Illinois State University by becoming one of three area PDS (Professional Development Schools) at the middle school level.  OMS, along with Bloomington Jr. High School and Tri-Valley Middle School, host year long undergraduate student teachers from ISU.  The partnership is designed to assist both entities: to help ISU find a more rigorous program for their middle school student teachers, and to help OMS keep abreast of the latest research and educational trends from the university and its extended network.
