What Makes Us a Unique School
The Co-op School, in Brooklyn, is a dynamic and engaging institution that serves students from preschool through 8th grade. Our students embark on a well-rounded curriculum that includes traditional academic subjects, studio art, movement, and music. All of these disciplines employ an inquiry-driven approach, placing student interests at the forefront. Central to our educational philosophy are social-emotional learning and our core values: compassion, uniqueness, innovation, community action, antiracism, and joy, which underpin everything we do.
