Microschools designed for your community
We partner with educators, schools, districts, and communities to design and launch microschools.
Vision & Promise
We envision a future where every student attends a school that feels like it was designed just for them, because it was.
All MCI schools, regardless of structure or setting, are held accountable to a shared set of non-negotiable design principles. These are not simply aspirational values. They are the promises by which every MCI school is designed, supported, evaluated, and renewed.
Why Microschools?
Across the country, families are looking for school models that better fit their children — environments that are more personal, flexible, and responsive to who their kids actually are.
Educators, schools, districts, and communities are asking:
How can we create smaller, more responsive learning environments?
How can we pilot new approaches without disrupting what's already working?
How can we offer differentiated options that meet families where they are?
Microschools provide one possible answer. We partner with educators, schools, organizations, and communities to help design and launch them.
What’s possible when you start small and think big.
A microschool is more than a smaller school. It's a place where students are deeply known, where teachers have the freedom to teach differently, and where districts, charters, and communities build something ambitious for the families they serve — without leaving public education behind.
We help districts, charters, and communities design and launch microschools that fit the students they serve.

Microschool Collaborative is a growing network of microschools. New sites are launching this year, building on a model proven in our first state network, Indiana Microschool Collaborative.
