The Program

Rooted in a deep respect for young people and families, much of the program is shaped by the collective.

What

We are a self-directed education (SDE) center and have similar structures and philosophies to Agile Learning Centers.
Children have the freedom to pursue whatever activities, interests, and learning they want to pursue.
We are currently in the process of forming a non-profit.
Since we are not a school, legally, children must be homeschooling through a charter school or through a PSA (Private School affidavit). We will help you through this process (it's easy).

When

Start date of August 22 with regular school holidays throughout the year
Drop-off is between 8-10 am
Pick-up is between 3-5:30 pm
Children may attend part-time (minimum of 2 days per week) or full-time (5 days per week).

Who

For children between the ages of 5-14.
We center BIPOC voices and experiences.
We endeavor to be an inclusive space and are building our capacity to serve a wider spectrum of neurodiverse needs.

Where

We are still securing our location for Fall of 2022, a location that will be accessible for East Oakland families and for families that join from other parts of the East Bay.

How Much

As much as possible, we try to live the spirit of the gift economy. We’re a village that is collectively taking care of our children!
No family will be turned away for lack of funds.
To cover costs, we have a sliding-scale tuition:
- $0-$2000 per month per child (payment due by the Friday of the first week of each month)
- Families agree to contribute generously and equitably based on their family income and situation.
For more information about our sliding scale and financial contribution expectations, check out our breakdown here.
