LFNS is a cooperative school, or co-op, meaning the parents work side-by-side with the school's staff of professional educators to administer and operate the school. The co-op duties for parents at LFNS include working at the school once a week as a parent-teacher and taking on an assignment at the school, what we call a great job, such as librarian or gardener. See our page "What is a Co-op?" for a detailed explanation of how our co-op works.
