An Outdoor Learning Community Where Children Self-Direct Their Own Growth

Imagine your child discovering frogs laying eggs, spending an hour building a stick fort with kids of all ages, playing made up games, and reading a book under a tree—all while you connect with other parents who share your values. This is what happens when children are trusted to follow their curiosity in a supportive community.

At the Baltimore Unschooling Cooperative, we believe children learn best when they're free to explore, create, and connect authentically. Rain or shine, our mixed-age community gathers in beautiful outdoor spaces where kids make their own choices about how to spend their time. Some join our optional nature activities, others invent games, and most simply follow their interests wherever they lead.

We're not just a co-op—we're a community where families who want something different can find their tribe. Where parents can breathe easy knowing their children are exactly where they need to be: learning through living, growing through play, and thriving as their authentic selves.

Join our homeschool community of self-directed lifelong learners.
