Redwood Cooperative School was established in 2014 with the goal of fostering children’s creativity and curiosity through progressive, project-based learning. Through experiential education, we aim to create a learning environment that nurtures the whole child. Redwood School equally promotes all disciplines of education from Literacy, Math, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, Nature, Music, Visual Art and Play. Our cooperative model allows for collaboration between classroom teachers, program specialists and parents. This pooling of time, talents and resources promotes a deep level of learning and allows for our children to be immersed in their educational experience, fostering their innate thirst for knowledge. Our programs promote the arts and emphasize the strong connection to nature and the outdoors while maintaining high standards in core content areas such as Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. At Redwood, blended grade classrooms encourage the development of social and emotional intelligence, providing the students opportunities to interact through group work and free play. Our student to instructor ratio is low (approximately 6 to 1) as we have one Head teacher in the classroom, an assistant teacher and a parent each day. We celebrate diversity by allowing children to be themselves and providing a learning experience that meets each student’s individual needs. Redwood strives to provide all this at a tuition rate that is affordable to most families. Financial aid is available.

In 2005, St. Katharine Drexel School was scheduled to close because of financial difficulties and declining enrollment. Saint Katharine Drexel was the last Catholic school in the city of Chester, Pennsylvania. Upon hearing of this news, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Neumann University, the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia and St. Katharine Drexel Parish partnered and proposed options for providing education in a safe environment to the children of Chester. Collaboration and discussion brought forth the idea of creating Drexel Neumann Academy (DNA) an independent, Catholic school with a Franciscan spirit. DNA strives to foster the moral, spiritual, intellectual, cultural, emotional, social, and physical development of each student.
