What Is a Micro School?
A micro school is a small, intentional learning community — often with fewer than 15 students — that blends the best of homeschooling, private school, and innovative pedagogy into a personalized experience.
- Small, mixed-age groups (typically 10–15 students)
- Customized, learner-driven curriculum
- Experiential, hands-on learning
- Close-knit, supportive community
