One Mission:
Provide a Safe Alternative With the Flexibility
to Meet Every Child's Educational Needs
DRC is NOT School
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 part of a community - and where they are free to explore all the possibilities. Learning can only happen when kids intuitively understand that they are secure, accepted, and trusted to make decisions, make mistakes, and explore all their interests to achieve their ever-evolving aspirations.
At Deep Root Center, we understand that your kid may not be into school. Or - that school is no longer serving your child. We also recognize that you know they would thrive in the right environment.
We trust that each young person will lead the way in working together to create that environment from scratch. This is the foundation for the Culture of Trust and Respect that guides everything we do at Deep Root Center.
