Why Microschool Your Kids?

A microschool is a small, independent educational setting that typically serves a limited number of students. These schools focus on personalized learning, flexible curricula, and a close-knit community atmosphere. They emphasize student-centered education, real-world learning experiences, and strong parental involvement, allowing for a more tailored and innovative approach to education.
