WHAT IS A MICROSCHOOL?

A smaller, student-centered, culturally and linguistically responsive educational environment that is co-created with students to guarantee innovation, personalized learning and family engagement remain top priorities. Microschools are flexible, adaptive and keep an emphasis on the social, emotional and academic growth of each individual student.
