Wallingford resident and parent Katherine passed along this announcement about an open house at a nearby (U-District) cooperative school. While we at Wallyhood typically try to maintain a tight focus on our neighborhood, these days parents cast their nets more broadly and this is just on the other side of the freeway from Wallingford. The information below was provided by the school.

University Cooperative School is a community-oriented, pre-K to 5 school with a progressive, experiential, multi-age approach to learning. Students, educators, and parents work together to create an intimate and caring community.

The school’s environment is both vital and caring, in which children deepen their love of learning, build confidence in their voices, and come to value their own gifts and those of others. We respect each child’s unique nature and foster in our children a strong sense of belonging—the knowledge that they are accepted and valued for who they are. At the same time, we prize and hold before them a vision of their highest potential.

Please join us at this year’s open house…
