Dear SSFS Families, 

We were truly saddened to hear of the planned closure of Sandy Spring Friends School. We recognize how difficult and disruptive this news must be for your family, and we want you to know that our hearts are with you during this transition.

At Silver Oaks Cooperative School, we have long admired the commitment to excellence that SSFS represented, and we deeply respect the families and educators who made it such a special place.

If you're now seeking a new academic home for your child--one that offers the same high standards, strong values, and close-knit community--you're warmly invited to learn more about us. We're a cooperative K-8 private school located in Montgomery County with small class sizes, a dedicated faculty, and a deeply personalized approach to education. We invite varying levels of cooperative involvement as fits your families needs.

We understand the need for a seamless and thoughtful transition, and we're committed to making the process as smooth and welcoming as possible. We are currently offering priority admissions consideration and personalized campus tours specifically for SSFS families. 

We would love the opportunity to meet with you and learn more about your child's educational journey. Please feel free to reach out directly to our admissions team at admissions@silveroakscooperative.org or call us at (443) 598-2565 if you have any questions or to schedule a tour for a time other than those listed on our Tours & Open Houses page.

Warm regards,

Alicia Cacace, Head of School
