FAQ's

Were here to help! Below are some answers to common questions.

How are microschools different?

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.

Are Changemaker Microschools right for my family?

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.

If this vision resonates with you, we invite you to connect with your local Changemaker Edu microschool founder to learn more.

 How do Changemaker Microschools look out for the safety and well-being of students?

At Changemaker Microschools, student well-being comes first. Through our Mind Body Soul program, we empower students and educators to trust their inner wisdom, build emotional resilience, and develop healthy mental and physical habits.

Beyond personal growth, we also prioritize physical safety and support with low student-to-staff ratios, clear safety protocols, and experienced educators who create a secure, nurturing learning environment.

How much are families required to be involved?

There are no required commitments—family involvement is entirely based on your interest and availability. Changemaker Microschools partner with each family individually, allowing you to engage in ways that feel right for you.

Some families prefer to be highly involved, while others take a more hands-off approach. Opportunities range from casual check-ins with teachers to volunteering in the classroom or helping with field trips. Whatever your level of involvement, we welcome and appreciate your support in a way that fits your lifestyle.
