Many microschools excel at personalized education and can accommodate various learning differences. Look for schools with special needs experience, small student-teacher ratios, and flexible approaches. Our platform clearly identifies schools with special needs support and helps you connect directly with educators to discuss your child's specific requirements.

Microschools typically operate as private schools or homeschool cooperatives, following state regulations for alternative education. While not all seek traditional accreditation, quality microschools maintain high academic standards and prepare students for standardized tests and college admissions. We provide transparency about each school's approach to standards and testing.

ESA amounts vary by state, typically ranging from $5,000-$8,000 per year. Many microschools cost between $8,000-$15,000 annually, so families often pay some additional amount. Our platform shows ESA eligibility status and helps you understand the true out-of-pocket costs for each school, including any additional fees.

Look for certified teachers or educators with relevant experience in your child's learning style. Our school profiles include detailed teacher backgrounds, qualifications, and teaching philosophies. You can message teachers directly to ask questions about their experience, approach, and how they handle your child's specific needs.

Common additional costs include activity fees, field trips, materials, and technology. Quality microschools are transparent about all costs upfront. Our platform requires schools to disclose their full fee structure, so you can budget accurately and avoid surprises throughout the school year.
