Redwood Cooperative has been tremendous for my neurodivergent daughter (ADHD and dyslexia). She receives support both in the classroom, in a small group setting, and formal intervention and thrives. Additionally, the arts and theatre program is top-notch, especially for such a small school. The Redwood community is such an accepting, affirming, and comforting community to be a part of. I highly recommend this school!

I have been unbelievably impressed by the way the school operates. You can tell the teachers are happy to be there and genuinely care about the children. The staff is very communicative and competent. The kids go aside rain or shine at least 3 times a day, they even raise chickens with the help of the students. My daughter is so excited to go to school every day, and we are so grateful!
