The Big Problem
People are unique. Depending on the student, school is either too slow or too fast. Too rigid or too hippie-dippie. Every school is way too test-focused, and above all... ...school is way too boring!
Children in the US are getting left behind, whether we like it or not.

The traditional education model was created over 100 years ago to prepare a barely literate population for factory work. It’s hardly changed since.
Today’s economy demands:
- Innovators.
- Problem solvers.
- Creative thinkers.
- People who are passionate and engaged.
Not broken spirits, whipped into conformity rigid curriculum and standardized testing.
The Solution
Microschools
Personalized learning, tailored to the student by a dedicated learning coach. A smarter model with a better outcome.
The formula for an effective microschool
Project-based Learning
Hands-on assignments that engage a variety of skills and inspire curiosity and problem solving. It will be fairly obvious to students how they’re “going to use this in the real world.”
Self-paced elearning
Times tables and spelling tests? Teaching mastery-based skills like math, spelling, grammar, and vocabulary is better outsourced to a computer.
Socratic Dialogues
Critical thinking, communication, and objectivity are valuable skills that can be learned and developed through use. A good learning coach guides students to find answers by asking challenging questions.
