Our program teaches interdisciplinary studies in science, social studies, literature, writing, engineering, foreign language, and art.
We are a thriving and established community of adults and children who learn and grow together. We will be entering our 5th year.
We are a cooperative but not in the traditional sense. The director creates the curriculum with the input of students and parents. Then, the director, as well as parent volunteers, implement the curriculum. Whether parents are teaching, assisting students, supervising play, or helping to maintain our facility, we believe parental input and participation is essential to creating a thriving learning community.
We provide a custom designed curriculum that caters to a wide range of ages and abilities. Topics are revisited in new and creative ways to ensure high retention of core concepts. The curriculum is designed with the individual students in mind, is interactive and engaging, and provides regular opportunities for hands-on learning.
We offer a core program that is science based with interdisciplinary connections in art, engineering, design, social studies, and language arts. We also offer optional classes in a variety of disciplines that can be taken alone or in conjunction with our core programming.
We meet Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Pittstown, NJ where we have full service indoor and outdoor facilities and easy access to nature.
Non-participating siblings are welcome to attend but we ask that they are removed from the learning environment should they engage in any behavior that proves distracting.
