Abstract	This monograph presents a study of cultural interchange in a second/third grade classroom within a parent-founded school. It follows one child from a religious family who traveled a long distance, both geographically and psychologically, from home to school. The study addresses influences that students encountered in traveling between home and school, focusing on cultural interchange. The researcher was in the classroom several days each week for 1 academic year and attended most parent events. She met and interviewed parents and families. This monograph looks at how families came to know the classroom; the theme of the classroom, which was living together and sharing perspectives; questions about thinking in racial and ethnic types; religiosity at home and the effect on the school experience; differing perspectives between home and school; and opening the doors for new thinking. The monograph concludes with implications that evolved from the interaction between the classroom and the family (e.g., cultural interchange is based on relationships that grow over time, professionals must cultivate a working trust with families, and unexpected differences are difficult to detect).
