More about The Socratic Experience (3rd- 12th grade)

TSE is a virtual school designed to help each child discover and develop their personal genius. Our program combines a liberal arts core with daily Socratic Humanities and STEM problem solving with a self-paced math program and tutors. Wednesdays are devoted to electives, which include many courses for entrepreneurial and creative students, including digital skills such as software development, audio engineering, video production, generative AI, game design, etc. We also offer high school credit for real world experiences and any online college course. Students meet with a mentor who helps them plan a personalized program aligned with their post-high school goals.

More about Prenda Microschools (K-8th Grade)

Prenda helps caring, inspiring adults start in-person microschools of 5-10 learners. In these tight-knit learning communities, students experience personalized, mastery-based academics and inquiry-led, collaborative learning. Parents select nearby guides from our microschool marketplace or work with Prenda to create a microschool that meets the needs of the children in their community. Through our research-backed learning approach, students develop strong academic skills as they explore their interests, collaborate, and lean into the joy and wonder of learning.
