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.
-
