Zoe Community School FAQ

1.   What is Zoë Community School?

Today Zoë is a group of people who are committed to offering children an environment where children can learn within a basis of community and sustainable living. We are a not-for-profit community organisation.


2.   What Kind of Education?

The Zoë School aims to provide child-centred education in a small group atmosphere. Pivotal to the Zoë Philosophy is encouraging students to be confident and develop positive self esteem.  In this rapidly changing society, it is important to learn skills of acquiring information, of communication and of recognising the needs and view-points of others. The Zoë Curriculum aims to foster a long lasting ability to continue learning throughout life. The school allows for continual contact with the natural environment in an ecologically sustainable way. Community and parents are encouraged to be part of the school, to share any skills or interests they have with the children, adding to student's knowledge and values. 

 

3.   Where is Zoë Community School?

Zoë is in Fern Tree, 10 minutes from Hobart's city centre, on the edge of the Mount Wellington reserve.

 

4.   What will it cost?

The fee structure will be developed as the school building program progresses, bearing in mind that a quality education should be accessible to all. While fees will be necessary to provide an effective curriculum, Zoë school would also require parents to be involved in some way with the day-to-day activities.

 

5.   What can I do?

Right now, Zoë is looking for people who want to be actively involved in school building and education. You can contribute with ideas, funding or getting involved in our school building program.
