The Inclusive Atrium

CoEducators

Our staff and friends have years of experiences in guiding children and families. We are available to come to support your staff and volunteers. We really have lots of co-educators who would love to share their wealth of knowledge and experience with you.

We collaborate with Montessorians, long-time educators, anthropological and cultural theologians, CGS catechists, adolescent specialists, occupational specialists, and people who specialize in supporting marginalized groups and educating others about them. We partner with neurodiverse folks of many strips as well as some neurotypical folk, too.
