At the Cooperative we strive to meet the needs of the whole child. Therefore, our day is scheduled to accommodate the physical and emotional needs of students. Our space is equipped with cooking facilities and areas for structured and unstructured activities, and for group and individual instruction.
As a Cooperative community our students are stakeholders in the learning space configuration and upkeep of our environment. Students have access to kitchen facilities for preparing their own lunches, and are given many opportunities to plan and prepare meals. At the Cooperative we have weekly community lunch on Tuesdays and community breakfast on Thursdays. Students also assist with tidying and cleaning our space to build independent living skills.
As seasoned educators, we understand the need for children to have the opportunity to move and explore. We build outdoor experiences and playtime into every day. We dress for the weather, and venture outdoors to experience nature and increase wonder even in the winter months. With our close proximity to Newblock Park and the Riverparks, we are able to allow our students to climb trees, tumble in the grass, and explore nature. We also provide an introduction to outdoor games and sports, and incorporate walking, hiking, and biking into our schedule.
As lifelong learners ourselves, we seek to inspire students to enjoy reading and learning as well as the arts, and the natural world. We promote a variety of activities including: STEM activities, math talks, novel studies; interest inspired exploration in art, photography, music, history, and geography; and visits to museums, parks, science and cultural centers. We also believe in the benefits of hands-on and experiential learning. We provide students with a variety of hands on lessons and projects throughout the year and we reserve Fridays as field trip and project days.
As mentors, we encourage our students to be active members of our community, and we model kindness, acceptance, joy, love, and forgiveness. We foster these traits in our students daily through interpersonal interaction and through service to our community. The Cooperative is not affiliated with any religious denomination, but, we strive to develop in our students the virtues of patience, honesty, fortitude, mercy, and compassion.
We are fairly new multiage age learning center that focuses on nurturing each child’s gifts and passions to free them to the world. We use project base learning, experiences, and talking to others and online resources to learn all that we can!

Our tiny community is blooming with kids and we are looking to bring back a local tradition of local education in a one-room schoolhouse setting, with an education program focused on teaching the kids to learn, think and grow instead of memorize and prep for tests. One-room schoolhouses have a long history in this area, with the last one closing just 10 years ago. The families of a small and remote community of Martinsdale Montana want a childhood experiences that does not include a twice a day, one hour or more, bus ride to the nearest school.
We have a kindergarten class of 6 for fall 2018, and enroll will grow to at least 12 within the first 5 years. Unlike many rural and isolated areas, we are growing with families due to ranching and industry.
Due to our remote location, we qualify for public school funding but we have struggled to get our school districts Board of Trustees to listen and learn the facts. As we persevere and work to gain their support, we are looking in to any and all options, Public, Private, Charter, etc. We are also very open to new, old and unique teaching and learning models.
We have very motivated families and a new schoolhouse but we are looking for teacher(s) and/or educational innovators that are interested in taking on this incredible opportunity for themselves and the kids.
We would be more open to non-public if we could find the right person(s) to oversee the school as we feel this is one area, that is not best suited for this group of parents and we haven't been able to find anyone else local with the skills or qualifications to take on such an important role.
There is a good chance that we cannot pull all of this together by fall 2018 and that is ok. It is most important to find the right path and educating partners and that takes time. If we build it, they will come.
