Chapter 2
Overview of the School
In May of 1996, a small group of families joined together to form a home school cooperative. They wanted an alternative to the public and private schools in the area and they wanted their children to be educated in a socially diverse environment. Hearthstone School was the result. While we are not an accredited school, we are currently incorporated and have attained tax-exempt, non-profit status as an independent school.
Purpose
Hearthstone strives to guide and nurture the student 's head, heart, and hands. It is an education that stimulates the intellect and nurtures the spirit. Hearthstone is also a parent cooperative. This is not merely a school to send children to — it is a commitment for the whole family.
Organization
We see Hearthstone as a living organism, requiring active participation from its members (some of whom are teachers). Members are required to perform volunteer hours (please see the Membership section) and attend
