Changemaker Edu Partner Microschools prioritize project-based and self-directed learning, creating an environment where every student is truly known and receives personalized support to thrive.
While all microschools share Changemaker's Mind Body Soul curriculum, each one has a unique focus—ranging from STEAM, martial arts, and performing arts to global citizenship, High School/Adult GED programs, and more! This allows families to find the perfect fit for their child's interests and learning style.
Do you feel frustrated by the limitations of traditional schools? Are you looking for a learning environment that recognizes the genius in every child and nurtures their individual spark? Do you value love, autonomy, community, creativity, and equity in education?
At Changemaker Edu Microschools, we believe that true learning happens when students develop mind, body, and soul. Every child deserves a school that celebrates their unique strengths, passions, and potential—one that empowers them to grow with confidence, resilience, and purpose.
