About Us

OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITIES IN A CARING COMMUNITY

Cooper is a large school with a warm heart. Our goal is for all students to feel a sense of belonging, know they are valued, and find their passion.

Opportunities in academics, arts, athletics and more mean there’s something here to
engage every student.

• Classes have greater flexibility, with new forms of instruction that rely less on lectures and more on small-group and individual learning with teacher assistance.
• The International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme develops global citizens who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. Allowing students to design their own inquiries, IB courses plant the seeds of critical thinking and collaboration — in ways that are less prescriptive than other college prep programs. We challenge all Cooper students to take at least one IB Diploma-level course.
• Advanced Placement courses, available in many subjects, offer academic challenges and the potential for college credit.
• We value the arts at Cooper. You’ll see the evidence in our hallways, where we display student work. Three annual theater productions, a dedicated ceramics room, and vocal and instrumental music programs are just some of our offerings.
• More than 50 school-sponsored teams and clubs include athletics (a newly renovated weight room opened in spring 2021), speech and debate, leadership opportunities, and an award-winning school newspaper, among others.
