Yes! You might be a family who is interested in keeping your child enrolled at their existing public school while allowing them to learn at home. Independent Study Programs are a great way for your child to remain enrolled at their current school while learning at home with one of our expert teachers. It’s a great option for those families who want their child to participate in sports, hobbies, and elective classes at school while receiving personalized, one-on-one support.

Ideally, a Microschool has between two and six students.

No, but it’s recommended that students are within one grade level of each other. 

Microschools are all about flexibility. Your Microschool can choose your desired start date, spring break, and select days off. Each Aspen Learning Lab Microschool includes 32 weeks of instruction.

Each Microschool includes a minimum of 20 instructional hours per week; however, your pod can opt to have more instructional time, depending on your enrichment choices and one-on-one time.

Customization! While Homeschool programs require an accredited curriculum with some options for customization, Microschools offer 100% customization and interest-based curriculum. Microschools also offer a unique, small-group learning setting, providing an engaging and social learning environment.

Aspen Learning Lab currently offers Homeschool, Microshool, Enrichment, and Tutoring programs for Learning Pods. Depending on the level of customization and learning approach your group is seeking, we are confident that we can provide an existing or fully customizable curriculum that will meet the needs of your group!

If you have a group of more than six students in adjacent grade levels, we recommend a co-teacher to support your Learning Pod. A co-teacher will provide optimal student-teacher ratios so that all students can receive personalized attention in your small group setting.

We highly recommend creating your learning pod with families you know well. It’s important to have a conversation with potential families about shared values and each participating student’s learning styles and goals to ensure you are all aligned throughout the process. Participating students should all be within one adjacent grade-level of each other for Learning Pods with one facilitating teacher. Each Learning Pod can have between two to six participating students. At Aspen Learning Lab, we’ve been facilitating Learning Pods since well before the pandemic, and our team is here to help guide and support you in the process of creating an exceptional learning experience for all families and students. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you are seeking support in the early stages of assembling your group, we’re here to help!
