The ROC is a place, a community, a body of experience and a philosophy!  ROC is a big open welcoming space where families can get together on a consistent basis for learning, socializing, and just having funThe community is a group of committed parents and inquisitive kids who like to do things together, and also a cadre of fascinating teachers who enjoy working with those kids in an open, focused, personal and creative format. Plus connections to other amazing educational resources in New York, nationally and internationally.The body of experience represents years of learning how to support all kinds of learning outside of the conventional schooling box. We’ve created innumerable environments, events, and opportunities for our children to experience the arts, sciences, math, media, language, writing, sports, technology, history, cooking, gardening, philosophy, civics … (to mention just a few)!  And we love to share that experience with new families.

The philosophy is fundamental. It’s the belief that that no matter how diverse our communities, no matter how different we are from each other, there are times and places and experiences where we can meet and grow together. And the ROC is dedicated to that promise.
