Born from a Belief That Our Children Deserve Better

Austin Micro School began with a simple yet powerful conviction: in a rapidly changing world, our children need an education that not only prepares them academically but also empowers them to become adaptable, compassionate, and purposeful leaders. We saw a need to move beyond traditional models, to create a learning environment where students don't just adapt to the future—they learn to shape it.

Our Vision

Austin Micro School combines academic excellence with human-centered, hands-on learning to nurture tomorrow's leaders. Driven by curiosity and supported in a guided and self-paced model, our students grow into self-starters with a strong sense of purpose.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower young leaders for the 21st century by:

  • Providing a dynamic, inquiry-based curriculum that fosters critical thinking and a love for learning.

  • Cultivating essential life and leadership skills through our integrated Young Leaders program.

  • Offering flexible learning pathways that honor individual student needs and family preferences.

  • Creating a supportive, inclusive community where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential.

  • Connecting learning to the real world through hands-on projects, community engagement, and our unique garden and maker spaces.
