Florida Parents Think "Microschooling" is a Great Idea

There is a spike in parents opting for so-called 'microschools' to educate their children in the U.S and Florida.

The mostly private institutions have popped up all over the country after the pandemic, and average about 16 students per class - which really benefits students whose brains work differently.

Neurodivergent students are wired differently and may be on the autism spectrum or may be easily distracted due to ADHD.

Also, microschools are eligible for public funding through Florida's universal school voucher program adding another attractive school choice for parents.

“It’s not at all just driven by school choice policies. I mean, you certainly did see growth of certain kinds of schools in the states that have school choice programs, but we see just as much interest in the blue and purple states that are not likely to see those kinds of programs anytime soon. It’s a broad, diversified base,” said Don Soifer, CEO of the National Microschooling Center .
