Cottonwood NYC houses a member based homeschool collective that employs tools and practices in support of self-directed and project based learning. We are currently enrolling learners aged 5-13 years.

*Already homeschooling but looking for community? We have part-time options too!

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.
