Across the board, community is an amazing place to grow up. It's good for parents (who get considerable, caring help with a plethora of instant aunts, uncles, and surrogate grandparents), and good for kids (who get instant playmates, intriguing facilities and landscapes to explore without taking a car ride to get there, and role models beyond Mom and Dad).

While intentional community is about making the purposeful choice to live cooperatively, the key word is "choice" when it comes to schooling community kids. Some are home schooled, some are unschooled, some go to private schools (including Waldorf and Montessori), and some go to public school. Some communities run their own schools, and some just leave it up to the parents.The best part is the range of options available to fit the opportunity to what that child needs to thrive.
