A microschool is a small, relationship-centered learning environment that combines elements of homeschooling, Montessori, and personalized education. With smaller class sizes and a strong focus on community, microschools allow for individualized instruction, hands-on learning, and meaningful connections between students and educators.

Our program is Montessori-inspired, grounded in the core principles of hands-on learning, independence, prepared environments, and respect for the child’s developmental pace. While we are not affiliated with a specific Montessori accreditation organization, we integrate Montessori philosophy with a modern microschool model to best meet the needs of today’s learners and families.

Our school combines Montessori-inspired principles with a modern microschool model, creating a small, relationship-centered learning community where children learn through hands-on experiences, independence, collaboration, and real-world engagement. We place strong value on family partnership, community connection, and supporting the whole child within a carefully prepared environment.

We serve children age 3 years through 3rd grade, supporting early childhood and elementary developmental stages through mixed-age, developmentally appropriate learning experiences.

A typical day includes a balance of independent work cycles, hands-on learning activities, collaborative projects, outdoor exploration, movement, and community gathering. Children are given time to concentrate deeply, engage in purposeful work, and build both academic and social-emotional skills in a structured yet flexible environment.

We support children through individualized observation, flexible instruction, and hands-on materials that allow for multiple learning approaches. Because of our small group setting, educators are able to meet children where they are developmentally and adjust support based on each child’s strengths, interests, and needs.

We approach behavior through guidance, consistency, and respect. Children are supported in developing self-regulation, problem-solving skills, and empathy. Instead of punitive discipline, we focus on redirection, reflection, and helping children understand the impact of their actions within a caring community.

Families are an essential part of our school community. We value open communication and strong partnerships between home and school. Families support their child’s learning by reinforcing independence, maintaining shared values, and participating in the broader school community when possible.

Our admissions process is designed to ensure thoughtful alignment between families and our school community. It includes an inquiry form, a school visit or tour, a family conversation, and, when appropriate, enrollment. This process helps ensure a strong and supportive fit for both the child and the school.

We offer both full-time and part-time enrollment options to support the varying needs of families. We also welcome homeschool students seeking a connected, hands-on learning environment within a small, relationship-centered community.
