Michael,
I believe all the black students are African-American. At another coop our kids attend there are quite a few Africans, though. We had some ties to an organization that ran an orphanage in Sierra Leone, and lots of people we know adopted from there. Unfortunately, there were accusations of child trafficking, and the man who ran the organization went to jail. The Sierra Leone government has since cut off most of the adoptions out of the country.
I really like my children’s school. The children organized themselves into houses, ala’ Harry Potter. My wife administrates the website: Rivendell Study Center. UPDATE: My wife says I’m totally off base on the socio-economic aspect of our school. She says that there is a large range of income levels and backgrounds represented.
