Cottonwood NYC houses a member based homeschool collective that employs tools and practices in support of self-directed and project based learning. We currently host two cohorts, a primary group ages 5 - 10 and an upper group of learners ages 11 - 14. We are always looking to expand our community!
*If you are already homeschooling but simply looking for community we have part-time options, in-person classes and a virtual platform. Contact team@cottonwoodnyc.org with any questions and to get involved.
Intentional culture
Cottonwood offers an environment that values the principles of choice, freedom, and independence along with the development of skills, fostering of curiosity, and creation of meaningful community connections.
diversity
Cottonwood is stronger because of its mix of ages and family backgrounds. Our environment frees learners to be themselves and to see the world around them for its limitless possibilities. All members have the chance to be a student and a teacher, a leader and a participant.
Learning HAPPENS EVERYWHERE
The Greenpoint community is our home base but the cultural and natural landscapes of NYC are as much a part of our classroom as the walls of our physical space.
