The model of a micro school is evolving; most are characterized by small learning communities made up of students working in mixed age groups. Teachers in micro schools do more guiding and less lecturing, and there is extensive use of digital and online resources to create personalized learning paths. Micro schools tend to emphasize project-based learning and community involvement.
Micro Schools Network (MSN) is a place for families to find great schools for their children. It is also a place for member schools to find resources and share information about the latest trends in education and what works in small and innovative schools.
