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 are not organized by grade level (even though some of our curriculum lists grades for illustrative purposes). This allows us to further individualize each child’s education so we can make the education fit the child not try to make the child fit the education. Also, our courses do NOT result in any grades issued. Assessments will only be used in ways that help us understand if the material is understood and assessment does NOT have to equal “test”. Narrative evaluations may be given for some courses to assist in letting parents know what their child learned and what progress was made.
*High school will have grades so we can create transcripts and give deplomas. We will use various assessment procedures and students will be allowed revisions to improve grades because we are learning focused not grade focused.
About us
A revolutionary idea in education. At LRS microSchool, we work with families who have chosen to home school to provide a new way to think about education. We all know that kids need an alternative to the “mass production” model in public education that does not work for so many of them. And the high-price-tag, private school model may work better for some but it is often financially out of reach. What if there was another way? LRS microSchool aims to be that way. If your child thrives with hands-on work, more control over HOW to learn a topic or just learns differently – our school is the place for you! We value our young learners as partners in their own unique voyage of discovery. And we gently guide them so that they learn more than the WHAT but the HOW and the WHY. Our high quality classes are taught by paid, trained and vetted experts in their fields who typically hold undergraduate or masters level degrees in their subject area. We are inclusive and secular in nature. And we encourage acceptance and understanding from student and staff alike.
