Some students thrive in a traditional brick-and-mortar classroom. Others, especially those with learning, language, or attentional challenges, or those who need a smaller more nurturing environment, may benefit from a different school setting. A microschool may be the perfect solution for your child. What is a microschool? Microschools are small learning environments where the curriculum and schedule are tailored to the needs of each class. They allow for a greater amount of individualized instruction with a strong student-teacher bond where the teachers get to know each child and their individual needs. They lack the bureaucracy of a public school setting and allow for innovative, customized learning. Who benefits from a microschool? Microschools are particularly beneficial for students who need more individualized attention than a public school or even a private school can provide. This might include students with special education needs, disabilities, language challenges, or attention difficulties. Even students without challenges who thrive in a smaller, more nurturing setting that is less crowded than a typical public school may benefit from a micro school. What should I look for in a microschool? When looking for a microschool for your child, try to find one that suits your child’s individual needs. If your child learns best with hands-on, project-based learning, look for a microschool that emphasizes that approach. You may want to try to find a smaller, more nurturing setting for your child that offers small class sizes and instruction that is catered to their individual needs. Would my child with special needs benefit from a microschool? Yes! Your child with special needs would most likely thrive in a microschool, especially one that is catered to students similar to them. For example, if your child has a language-based learning disability like dyslexia, look for a microschool that integrates Orton Gillingham teaching. If your child has other learning or attentional challenges, they may benefit from a curriculum that integrates multi-sensory instruction throughout the day. Look for a microschool that may allow other service providers, like speech therapists or occupational therapists, to come work with your child at the microschool during the school day. A microschool can serve as a great alternative school for your child, especially one that caters to students with similar profiles to them.
