Microschools are gaining popularity in the evolving education landscape, appealing to families across the political spectrum. These small schools typically serve 5 to 20 students and focus on personalized learning with unique curricula tailored to individual needs. Often less structured than traditional schools, microschools are usually run by a single teacher or a small team, referring to students as “learners” and teachers as “guides.” Educators believe that these small class sizes particularly benefit marginalized children. For instance, Ashleigh Pollard chose The Maker’s Clubhouse Early Learning Center for her daughter to support community values and foster early education. Don Soifer, CEO of the National Microschooling Center, emphasizes that meaningful education thrives in supportive environments.
