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

    To any prospective parent, a school needs to present all the facts about itself, so as the parent may make the choice that is best for their child. Thirty years ago, when I was in school. There was no concern about scores, diversity, etc. You just went to your local elementary, middle and high school. Today parents are much more informed and curious about where their child is going to go. To some parents, it is quite important to have their children attend a culturally diverse school. “There is a richness that comes from students working side by side with others who are not of the same cookie-cutter mold,” notes Jean Snell. (Great Schools Staff, 2009, P.123) This is why it is so important for a school to annually update their school profile. Davidson Middle School is doing this on an annual basis, offering prospective parents all the facts to make an informed decision. The school profile can also be used by staff to see the changes that occur from year to year and take this information to improve in the areas that it is needed in(Educational Testing Service, 2008).…

    You may be wondering what a charter schools is. According to The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, charter schools are public schools that are independently operated and are given the ability to use innovative teaching in exchange for assured improved student achievement. A charter is formed by the work of a group of educators, parents, educational leaders, and others that come together and develop the school 's mission statement, guiding principles, governing body, and the measure for accountability. They then submit the proposal to the state for approval. If the charter is granted then there is an agreement made between the state and the school, and because of the charters autonomy there is a higher level of expectation imposed. Not only by the state, but also by themselves, and ultimately by the people as enrollment is based on their choice.…
