Bellingham Cooperative School was founded in 1969 in response to the members of a cooperative nursery school who wished to continue the small, family atmosphere for their children's elementary school years.
Located on three acres in Happy Valley, the school site consists of two buildings surrounded by play fields, gardens, natural areas, pasture and fruit trees. It serves a unique niche in our community's education needs. The school program is flexible and class sizes are kept small so each child can receive individual attention and proceed at his/her own pace. Children interact with each other in mixed-age, ungraded classrooms, much like the old-fashioned one-room schoolhouse. Parental involvement is encouraged. Students may attend part or full-time and may be home schoolers seeking supplementary support.
