The Co-op School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, or national or ethnic origin. The roster is made based on school and community needs. Spots are first reserved for current students and then for siblings. Once current Co-op members and their siblings have been placed, we then begin to take applicants from our wait pool. Applicants are selected based on classroom needs and selection is made with thoughtful consideration of the classroom dynamic and community, including class balance in terms of age and gender.
