As teachers, we know that kids are unique individuals and learn differently from one another. And while teachers do an amazing job at teaching students at all different levels, sometimes the school system isn’t working for them. Therefore, attending a microschool can be the perfect fit. To learn more about this, I have guest Iman Alleyne, founder of Kind Academy, who is sharing how to build a microschool network. 

After Iman’s son wasn’t having the best experience at a traditional preschool, she started looking at different options, and eventually landed on a microschool. Her persistence and passion for teaching and celebrating an individual’s unique abilities, led her to opening up Kind Academy, which has changed the trajectory of her children’s academic successes. 

Not every child excels in a traditional school, and not every parent wants their children to have a structured day. Instead, a microschool is a place that’s progressive, engaging, and student-centered, who are recognized for their individuality. While academics are present, in a microschool, project-based learning, creativity, and developing conflict resolution or social emotional skills are at the forefront of a student’s individualized curriculum. With so many ways that students can learn, this might be the best option for your child!
