Redwood Cooperative School

OVERVIEW
Redwood Cooperative School is a private, independent school located at 166 Crestwood Dr, Lexington, KY 40503. It serves students from preschool through grade 8, providing a progressive education model that emphasizes inquiry, creativity, differentiated learning, and student choice.

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE

• Redwood uses a progressive education philosophy: students engage in experiential and inquiry-based learning, with project-based modules and a “whole-child” focus rather than solely traditional metrics.

• The school reports a small student-teacher ratio of approximately 8 : 1 (per Niche, 184 students, 24 full‐time teachers) which fosters individualized attention.

• Tuition for the 2023-24 year: approximately $8,760 for grades K-5, $10,746 for grades 6-8.

• Redwood places a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, diversity, equity & inclusion, and outdoor learning—students regularly participate in nature‐based activities and the campus includes new playscapes and outdoor learning spaces.

• The cooperative model means families engage with the school community (including opportunities for reduced tuition if families contribute through volunteer work) and Redwood is committed to inclusive admissions (“does not discriminate … based on race, ethnicity, gender, … religion, sexual orientation …”).
