Microschool Paths
Learners are responsible for completing assignments and coursework missed due to absences, late arrivals, or early departures. Learners may enroll in up to three classes per path, with course selections made at the beginning of each semester. Families are encouraged to choose courses carefully, as schedules, staffing, and instructional planning are based on semester enrollment commitments.
The Social Discovery Lounge (SDL) is available to enrolled learners at no additional cost. SDL provides a supervised space for independent study, reading, creative projects, social interaction, and personal enrichment. The lounge is open on school days from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and may be used during scheduled SDL periods or as designated by staff.
