School Life

Cooperative Model

At The Co-op School, “co-op” means cooperative. Families are integral to our community, contributing time, skills, and energy through our Co-op Commitment to help the school thrive.

Family Participation

Each family contributes at least eight hours per year through service such as committee work, workshifts, projects, or organizing events. At the start of the year, families choose how to participate, ensuring everyone’s unique talents and interests support the life of the school. This shared responsibility not only keeps our programs vibrant but also models for children the importance of responsibility and active engagement.

Family Participation

Growing Stronger Together

Our cooperative model fosters lasting relationships and a strong sense of community. By working side by side, families create a dynamic environment where students thrive. Whether it’s hosting community events, caring for shared spaces, or contributing skills and expertise, parents help build a culture of teamwork and collaboration. Children see firsthand the value of cooperation and collective effort, lessons that extend beyond the classroom and into their lives as engaged, empathetic citizens.
