At Montclair Cooperative School, teachers are deeply committed to connecting children to the natural world, which promotes a love and respect for our planet. Children are given time outside each day to play and learn, with nature having a central role in many of their theme studies. Here children foster a sense of environmental stewardship and activism. Starting as early as 4 years old, Co-op children begin to gain a sense of their responsibility to care for the Earth. As children get older in our Pre-K through 8th grade program, field trips to the forest become overnight camp trips and eventually week-long wilderness expeditions across the US.
Learn more about our progressive primary and upper school programs in our virtual tour, or RSVP for an upcoming open house. Experience education that centers children’s natural curiosity and allows them to grow a strong sense of community responsibility.
