Education, reimagined

Personalized
academics

Our unique approach to education enables every student to thrive academically, at their own pace—whether they’re ahead of the curve or need help catching up.

Freedom to
discover

Whether they're writing a book or building a robot, we make space for students’ creativity and curiosity for learning with projects driven by their passions.

Goals,
not grades

Students set their own goals, empowering them to take charge of their learning. Our ultimate goal is simple: a learning experience where kids feel accountable not just to their teacher, but to themselves.

WHAT IS A MICROSCHOOL?

An independent school that focuses on small-group, student-centered learning

Small groups

Students work on core academics in small group settings, which allow for a more personalized experience and a stronger sense of community.
