and Current Tuition Rates
Hearthstone
is a parent
cooperative which requires its members to work a certain amount of
volunteers hours. (For example, a family with at least one full-time
student at the Kindergarten level or above enrolled in the school
is required to contribute at least eight volunteer hours per month.)
Members are also required to attend monthly membership meetings, at which
matters of interest to the whole school community are discussed and
voted upon (babysitting is available for the monthly membership meeting with prior notice).

Organization
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, respecting the individuality and beauty of each child. Hearthstone is a parent cooperative.
This is not merely a school to send children to: it is a community and commitment
for the whole family.
We see Hearthstone
as a living organism, which needs active participation and support from all of its members ~ parents, teachers, students and friends.
The Core Council, a group of six to eight
leaders, meets every week throughout the year.
Recommendations for the
school are brought before Core Council for review, and decisions on the operation of the school are brought to the membership for a vote.
