Who We Are

We originally started with the idea of making this a 5 day
cooperative. However, for this year at
least, we have decided that the advantage of having such a small class allow
for faster coverage of the material.
Switching to a 3 day cooperative allow for more time for additional
field trips, enrichment and even just plain old play.

The concept of Learning Tree was bringing together the best of
what homeschooling, private schools and public school offer. You have built in peer interaction of the public
school, tied with the small class size of private school, enhanced by the hands
on involvement of homeschooling. We
realized if every parent agreed to help staff the school, from library runs to
teaching music (if they were so talented) we could focus resources on hiring a
teacher, field trips, curriculum and library books. As a cooperative,
cost is distributed equally among all parents, as are responsibilities. It is truly "YOUR" school.

Our space has an art room, music room and even a library. The
maximum class size will allow for a 10:1 student teacher ratio. And most of the time the teacher will have a
parent volunteer to help break children out into groups.

We also offer an opportunity for those satisfied with the
education aspect of homeschooling to just join us for the enrichment part of the day.

We understand this is a whole new model that provokes a lot
of questions. Please contact us we are glad to help answer them. Also all our weekly meetings are open so please join us sometime to learn more!

Happy Learning!
