Independent Education, Together
Nature Education Cooperative is excited to launch our new homeschool curriculum designed for learners ages 5-10. Our lessons explore the wonders of nature and science through hands on projects and activities, offering families a creative and engaging approach to education. Rooted in the philosophy of nature schooling, we emphasize outdoor exploration and experiential learning to inspire curiosity and creativity in every child. Whether you are learning together as a family, in a co-op, or within a micro-school, our adaptable curriculum will inspire exploration, creative expression, and a love for learning.

The VELA Founder Network is the nation’s leading community of entrepreneurs providing alternatives to conventional schooling. By providing early capital, access to a thriving community of entrepreneurs, and connections to resources and support, VELA is accelerating the exploration of new frontiers in education.
Nature Education Cooperative began as a co-op program in Delray Beach, Florida where learners explored sensory-rich activities in science, nature, creative arts, cooking, herbal apothecary, mindfulness, and decolonized history. This thriving program is excited to launch our collection of curriculum nationwide thanks to funding from Vela Education Foundation.
Our curriculum options will continue to grow over the next year to include all of our classes, as well as starter guides to support others to start their own homeschool co-op.
