One Mission

Provide a safe, non-coercive, self-directed educational alternative that meets each child's desire for autonomy - while allowing space for curiosity and creativity to support their healthy intellectual and emotional development.

School Re-imagined

Deep Root Center is an alternative to school because we believe that all young people deserve a safe educational environment where they feel like they are an important part of the community - and where they are free to explore all the possibilities.  We understand that learning happens when each student member intuitively recognizes that they are accepted for who they are and are trusted to make decisions, make mistakes, and explore all their interests to achieve their ever-evolving aspirations.
Picture
At Deep Root Center, we trust that each young person will lead the way in creating  an educational plan together based on their specific interests and aspirations. This is the foundation for the Culture of Trust and Respect  that guides everything we do at Deep Root Center.

Capital Improvement Fund

The Center at 48 Riverside Drive in Canton requires some extra love this summer. Most notably, some structural reinforcement of floor joists and several renovations, including moving the bathroom to another room, updating kitchen appliances, installing open shelving for storage, and maybe even a few coats of paint to freshen up some of the rooms.

If you would like to help out with any of these projects ranging from DIY to expert skill levels, either offering your time for hands-on participation or with a donation towards our capital improvements campaign, please get in touch.

We are seeking folx who excel at jumping in and getting things done.
