Why mixed-aged learning?
There are many benefits to mixed-aged learning. I wrote a blog post all about them.
Do my kids need to be registered homeschoolers?
Yes. We are operating as a learning center for registered homeschoolers. If you have not registered as a homeschooler before, no worries! It’s super easy in the state of Virginia. Our team will help you stay compliant each year with an end-of year evaluation to submit to the county (full day students only). If you have more questions about registering your child as a homeschooler, feel free to reach out: hello@crozetcooperative.com
Do you have a dress code?
We have a loose code for two main reasons: safety and performance. We want students to dress comfortably, and seasonally appropriate for outdoor play without distracting elements (costumes, pjs, distracting accessories, upsetting words or pictures, etc.). We want our students to focus on creating meaningful relationships while pursuing excellence in their learning. Furthermore, having a separate pair of indoor-only shoes helps keep our indoor spaces clean.
Can you accommodate special needs or other behavioral orders?
No. We are absolutely committed to meeting each student’s social, emotional and intellectual needs, but unfortunately we are not equipped to assist with special needs or behavioral orders, etc. If your child is simply behind academically, reach out to discuss if this program would be a good fit!
Are there any required school supplies?
Aside from having the proper outdoor layers for inclement weather and a separate pair of indoor-only shoes, your registration fee will supply the necessary school items for each student.
Are you affiliated with any church or religion?
We are not.
What should my child bring each day?
All students will need a packed lunch + 2 snacks in a labeled lunch carrier of some form and a large water bottle – please only send water.
Dress in comfortable clothes and that meet our dress code.
All students are required to supply a separate pair of indoor-only shoes (for example: crocs/natives or other comfy slip-ons) that they will leave at school.
Will you expand each year?
That’s the plan! Ideally we will add a grade/age-group each year, as our students age up, but that also means, our youngest age will also move up, so the ages of our cohort will change each school year.
