Joyful Learning
What Makes Us a Unique School
The Co-op School provides a safe and stimulating micro-environment in which students experiment and learn. All members of The Co-op School—students, families, and staff—contribute to the development of our unique culture and participate in improving our community and beyond. As students learn to work together, preparing for their place in a global environment, our families also work within committees and on the board of directors to support the school.

Admissions
Under normal circumstances, in-person tours of our school would occur from October through March, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. During this time, prospective parents would 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. This fall, in order to comply with social-distancing, we are conduction virtual tours at 9:30 am on Tuesday, October 20; Wednesday, October 28; Wednesday, November 18; and Wednesday, December 2.
