About Us
Our Vision
At LRS microSchool we believe that every child deserves the gift of an amazing education – one that will serve them well for the rest of their life. We believe the way to deliver this education is through a highly individualized, flexible and creative program that is driven by student interest and guided by expert teachers who are joyful partners in lifelong learning.
No grades* (of any kind).
We believe in making education fit the child, not the other way around. That's why our programs aren't structured by traditional grade levels (even if some curriculum materials reference them for illustration). This allows us to fully individualize each child's learning path.
Our courses do not issue traditional grades. Instead, we use assessments solely to gauge understanding and track progress. We know that "assessment" doesn't always mean a "test"; it's about understanding what a child has learned. For some courses, we provide narrative evaluations to clearly communicate your child's progress and achievements.
*Our high school program is designed to support student success while preparing them for future endeavors. We issue grades and create official transcripts, leading to the awarding of diplomas. Our approach is learning-focused, not solely grade-focused. We utilize various assessment procedures and encourage a growth mindset by allowing students revisions to improve their grades and deepen their understanding.
About us
At LRS microSchool, we partner with homeschooling families to offer a revolutionary approach to education. We recognize that the "mass production" model of traditional public education doesn't serve every child, and while private schools can be a better fit, their high costs often make them inaccessible. What if there was another way? LRS microSchool aims to be that alternative.
If your child thrives with hands-on learning, desires more control over how they learn, or simply learns differently, our microSchool is the ideal environment. We value our young learners as active partners in their unique journey of discovery, gently guiding them to understand not just what they are learning, but also how and why.
Our high-quality classes are led by paid, trained, and vetted experts in their fields, most holding undergraduate or master's degrees in their subject areas. We are inclusive and secular in nature, fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding among both students and staff.
