The Majuro Cooperative School (“Co-op”), which opened its doors in 1975, offers our Pre-School through 8th grade students one of the most unique educational experiences in the Pacific. Co-op is the only private secular elementary/middle school in the former Trust Territories that is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

During the past several years, the Board of Directors' goal has been to upgrade the facilities on campus, to hire highly qualified teachers and staff who speak English as a first language, and to obtain relevant textbooks and other educational materials. While the school is constantly striving to achieve these goals, adequate funding is our biggest obstacle to success. Fortunately, various governments, individuals and companies have been kind enough to contribute to our school over the years to help with our always challenging financial situation.

I encourage those who would like to assist our school to read through the donations page on this web site. Every contribution helps the school, no matter how small. [Mike is pictured at left in black T-shirt at the opening of our new 6 room teacher housing complex, Sept. 2007]

Co-op prides itself in building an environment for our children that is free from prejudice and that in turn allows our children to form close relationships with children from many different ethnic backgrounds.. Because the school stresses dedication to and pride in our school within our student body and our community, it is my belief that the challenges of continuing this great learning endeavor in the middle of the Pacific will continue well into the future.

Sincerely,

Mike Slinger, President
The Majuro Cooperative School
