What is a Microschool?
​
Micro-Schooling is a modern revolution of the one-room schoolhouse classroom where class sizes have a more condensed learner to instructor ratio of 1:8 to 1:10.
A schoolhouse structure focuses on individualized attention to each learners’ needs based on subject-matter skill level rather than grade level. Learners are assessed by individual subject-matter for a customized learning approach.
