Cohousing-L Mailing List: Cohousing Community with a School as the centerpiece

[Mydlack, Daniel J. (dmydlack]

This is my first post.

I am starting a cohousing community in Baltimore designed with a private school 
as a centerpiece.

We are a group of home-owning parents who are building a Sudbury-model school. 
With no extra capital for buying/building a lone school building, we plan to 
build a small cohousing 'neighborhood' that collectively includes a school 
building. Our goals are to build more efficient green homes, create a safe 
neighborhood for our toddlers and to build a new school building collectively 
that meets all codes.

The owners of each housing unit will be spouses who will be staffing the 
school; the school will have a capacity far beyond the community members' 
children. We plan on taking measures (landscaping, placement...etc...) to 
ensure that the school is formally separated from the housing.

Has anyone heard of a similar effort?
