Our pilot programs brought together amazing kids and teachers from Miami and beyond. Here’s what our families had to say.
“This program has provided 1) quality teachers, 2) a smaller setting, 3) the ability to track and see what my child is doing throughout the day.”
“My child hates school! While experiencing the microschool, she loved going to school. We witnessed her take initiative in researching and reading about topics she was learning about. She was very sad when her course ended.”
“Excellent experience. One on one attention and fieldwork are amazing attributes of this program.”
