Enrolling Your Child at Robert Muller School


"The Community's main focus is collective modeling of a gestalt of healthy pursuits, establishing right human relations, and consciously contributing to a universal culture.

The new era school is not just a place to send the children for academic study, but a cultural center of conscientious role models and mentors"

Vicki Johnston (Excerpt from Education For True Culture)

As part of the process of becoming a true Community School, we are formalizing our mentoring program this year. For our learning community to benefit the most from this program, we need active involvement from parents, grandparents, and the surrounding community. From study of other successful community schools, we are more aware of how much impact adult involvement can have on the optimal education of our children. Each one of us has unique skills and talents to share with our children. This is a great way to get involved!

Community Service and Volunteer Commitments
The Robert Muller School is able to maintain affordable tuition by organizing as a community. Minimally, two hours of monthly school service is required per child you've enrolled in the school. There is a wide range of services you may offer.

Monthly community meetings provide a forum for you to bring your energy and ideas to help benefit the school. These meetings are run by community members and include discussions on improving our community. Meetings will be held on the second Thursday of each month. Please see our calendar for specific dates and meeting notes.

Each month, one Saturday will be designated as a Community Project Day. Each family is asked to commit to one Saturday per year to help complete Community Projects at the school.

Please be aware that when you make a commitment to provide volunteer service at the school, the teachers and children are depending on you to be there. For the school to be most successful, it is critical that you honor your volunteer commitment time and responsibly follow through with your commitments.

Following are some ideas for ways you can participate in our learning
• In-class projects (individual crafts, presentations, science experiments, etc)
• Mentoring (regular, on-going sharing of specialized skills with one or more students)
• Maintenance of school (grounds, garden work, animal care)
• Teacher assistance (bringing snacks, cleaning, making copies, arranging field trips)
• School celebrations (food and activity coordination)
• Parent/Teacher group and its special committees (marketing, fund-raising, etc)

If you are unable to volunteer or participate in the community, you may also contact our office for information regarding school capital needs, supplies, equipment or simply request to make a private donation.
