Visit Our Website
The Co-op School, in Brooklyn, is a dynamic and engaging institution that serves students from preschool through 8th grade. Our students embark on a well-rounded curriculum that includes traditional academic subjects, studio art, movement, and music. All of these disciplines employ an inquiry-driven approach, placing student interests at the forefront. Central to our educational philosophy are social-emotional learning and our core values: compassion, uniqueness, innovation, community action, antiracism, and joy, which underpin everything we do.
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.
