Building Community / Overview

While at Dr. Walter Cooper Academy, children will begin to acquire the knowledge, skills and behaviors that are the foundation for being successful learners. Children of different abilities, talents, interests and backgrounds work and play together. As the children progress through our learning journey, they explore, manipulate, create, discuss and master many basic social and academic concepts and skills. In a safe and nurturing environment, each child is guided along the learning path.

One way we do this is through morning meeting and a school-wide Cooper Circle.
