"Progressive Education Through InquiryThe Co-op School 's constructivist approach centers on inquiry-based learning through interdisciplinary projects. Students develop critical thinking and creativity while making meaningful connections across subject areas. This method emphasizes curiosity and problem solving. The school's commitment to rigorous academics alongside social-emotional development is reflected in its impressive outcomes: 98 percent of students are accepted to their first-choice high schools. This success demonstrates how inquiry-based learning prepares students to think critically and engage deeply with their studies."
"Building Community Through Participation As a cooperative, The Co-op School thrives on active family participation, which is fundamental to the school's DNA. Each family contributes at least eight hours annually through committees, work shifts, or projects, creating a vibrant community of engaged participants. This collaborative spirit comes alive through signature events that strengthen community bonds. The annual Sunset Soirée at Herbert Von King Park welcomes new and returning families, setting the tone for a year of connection and shared purpose."
