Create the Microschool of Your Dreams

The Rock Your Microschool Cohort is a transformative 6-week program designed for both new and aspiring microschool founders, as well as those with existing microschools looking to strengthen their academic program and school culture. Combining project-based learning (PBL) principles with actionable strategies, this program will guide you step-by-step as you build a thriving academic program and strong school culture. Download our microschool blueprint for a taste of the type of programming we support.

Rock by Rock membership includes access to our monthly live virtual field trips at no additional cost. These experiences are carefully curated to align with our hands-on projects, deepening student understanding and making learning truly come alive.

 

These engaging, real-time events bring the world to your students, making learning more dynamic, and exposing students to a whole world of career possibilities. Virtual Field Trips support lessons and concepts featured in our library of projects.
