What Makes Us a Unique School

Co-op School families are more than participants; they’re the fabric of our school. Each family serves on a committee and contributes 8 hours of labor each year to care for our school, create community events, and manage school initiatives. We also gather to celebrate our milestones, work through our challenges, and support our community’s growth. We build bonds through communication, friendship, and fun.

Our Values

Compassion, uniqueness, innovation, community action, anti-racism, and joy—these core values are the backbone of everything we do. Our staff and students practice them in our classrooms, during projects, at recess, and reinforce them at all community meetings.

Our Approach

We strive to inspire passion and teach students to become protagonists in their own educational journey by fostering their innate sense of curiosity and creativity. Joyful learning lays the foundation for lifelong learning and critical thinking.

Our Community

Our parents and staff are brought together by our desire to provide our children with quality progressive education at an accessible price. We all play a crucial role in the journey of upholding the school’s guiding principles and overall operations.

Admissions

Tours of our school occur from October through March, 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. During this time, prospective parents visit the classrooms and shared learning areas and then participate in an inquiry session in which we give an overview of our curriculum and our parent-aided cooperative model, ending with a Q&A.
