• Education occurs for the learner at all times in all places.

The Co-Op is a collaborative work space that often includes field trips, speakers, and plenty of project work. Typically lasting 6-8 weeks. We develop a theme, work to uncover the curriculum around that theme, and design a unique project that will be displayed. This can be joined online as well. A little more on that here.
