Walnut Grove Coop is a homeschool program. We are secular, inclusive, and a nonprofit.
We serve students in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania at our Newark, DE location. We are a cooperative group of families who do not send their children to traditional schools. We provide opportunities to our children and adults to learn in a respectful, inclusive, secular community through fun classes and meaningful experiences.
Our programs include:
- Preschool Time Homeschool Support
- Elementary Homeschool Classes
- Forest School Programs
- Middle School Homeschool Programs
- High School Programs
We offer homeschool enrichment programs for preschoolers, elementary grades, and high school. We encourage leadership, connection in nature, and self-directed learning. We meet to provide a social outlet for parents and children. We meet in Newark, Delaware.
Our Mission:
Provide a stable and consistent learning environment where alternative learners can build a strong community, connect with nature-based education, perform service projects, and support self-education.
Our Values:
It is the intention of this group to foster leadership skills among our adults and children, encourage self-reliance, promote an inclusive but secular environment, practice mindfulness, and teach diversity.
Membership:
Walnut Grove Coop is open to anyone who can make the commitment to work together with other co-op members to create meaningful, fun experiences for our children and ourselves.
Homeschool Parent Participation:
Parent participation is essential to the overall success of our homeschool programs. Parents contribute to planning programs, hiring staff, and offering field trips, and other meet-ups. Parents are welcome but not expected to lead educational activities such as clubs.
