Frequently Asked Questions

What is a microschool?

A microschool is a small, full-time school designed to provide personalized instruction in a close-knit learning community. With a smaller class size, teachers can better understand each student's strengths and needs while building strong relationships with both students and families.

How many students will be in the class?

Microschools are designed to serve approximately 12–20 students, creating an environment where every child is known, supported, and challenged.

What grades does the microschool serve?

Grades available are specific to each microschool.

What makes the microschool different from a traditional classroom?

Students learn in a smaller setting with personalized instruction, daily small-group teaching, and flexible learning experiences. Rather than teaching every student the exact same lesson at the same pace, instruction is designed to meet students where they are and help them grow toward grade-level proficiency and beyond in certain circumstances.
