THIS FALL COTTONWOOD IS OFFERING CLASSES AND OPENING IT TO LOCAL HOMESCHOOLERS OR WORLDSCHOOLERS!

WORLD SCHOOLING AND LOOKING FOR COMMUNITY?!?

Cottonwood opens its doors to world schooling families for short term enrollment. Write team@cottonwoodalc.org to arrange a visit!

Now Enrolling! Our private school and homeschool collective is currently enrolling learners ages 3 - 12. Learn more about education at Cottonwood here.

Below is a short window into the The Cottonwood Market, the culmination of last spring’s entrepreneurial unit at Cottonwood NYC.

Cottonwood is committed to radically shifting the way we think about learning, education and what it means to be in community. We empower youth and fuel the fire of curiosity in all people. We support a growing community through age-mixing, valuing personal choice and celebrating the individuality of everyone’s learning journey.

Cottonwood cultivates scholarship, interdependence, curiosity and self-knowledge through a progressive curriculum that playfully engages each learner in their school community as well as the larger community around them. In short, Cottonwood creates citizens of the world.  

Learn more about the elements of our experiential, project-based curriculum here.

Our greater mission to build community is realized through offerings of an agile after school program, adult and organizational programming, community center events, mission related space rental and summer and vacation camps.
