Majuro Cooperative School is a private, secular school educating students in grades pre-K through 12th. The school’s campus is located on the southeast corner of Majuro. The school was founded in 1975 by a small group of concerned parents who wanted to provide their children with a quality education.
The school, which is almost always called Co-op, has grown significantly since its early days as a one teacher school with a single classroom. There are currently 321 students (about half boys and half girls) enrolled at Co-op, representing diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.
Within both the Majuro community and the Marshall Islands, the Majuro Cooperative School is perceived as producing a high level of academic achievement. The Co-op School students consistently perform at the top for all schools in English, Reading and Math. Tuition fees generally cover the school’s recurrent operating costs. External grant funding has been used to address needed facility upgrades, Special Education programming, a computer lab for students, professional development for teachers, support for at-risk students, and curricular improvement. Fundraising and grants cover about a third of the school’s operating costs.
