Our spring teams have become more competitive; the teamwork throughout the school day and during games is beautiful to see, and the leadership from our 8th graders has been phenomenal.
Home to diverse wildlife, Cooper’s Cove encompasses field, thicket, forest, stream, and pond. The Cove extends to a ridge that provides a panoramic view of an Appalachian valley. The main building has an industrial kitchen, bathrooms and large rooms for gathering. Other facilities include two screened dorms and small cabins as well as a big timber-framed barn for evening gatherings like storytelling or square dancing. The remote setting and the deliberate avoidance of modern distractions provide students with a rare direct experience of nature that supports their growth as scientists, individual persons growing understanding their place in the universe, and responsible stewards of the planet.
