What is a microschool?

Our microschool is a unique hybrid between homeschooling and private schooling, located in Williamsburg close to the Norge border. With small class sizes under 10, students may interact more with children of multiple ages and have a more family-focused experience. Parents may drop their students off every day at 8:45am and pick them up before 3pm, or they may have the option of enrolling them in either just the morning academic classes or just the afternoon enrichment classes. If parents desire to assist with the microschool, there are a variety of positions available so they may stay involved at the school. Parental involvement is reimbursed with tuition credit to assist families who want a cost-effective high-quality education. On 'Flex Fridays', the whole family is invited to participate in our review games, as well as recreational, educational, and mission-minded field trips!

Children learn best through their everyday experiences with the people they love and trust, and when the learning is fun.

Our Mission

To guide the body, mind, and soul of each child towards excellence in all that they do so that they can be a light in our community and fulfill God’s will for their lives.
Through small classes with hands-on projects and creative learning, our focus is to ensure a high-quality educational program for all students while providing a positive and safe environment.
Our goal is to encourage a love for learning so our children may have options upon graduation and be able to achieve goals that allow them to fulfill the Great Commission!
