The Hybrid Program:
Blending On-Campus Engagement with Flexible At-Home Learning
Discover our K-8 Hybrid Program at Austin Micro School – two engaging days on our South Austin campus, complemented by thoughtfully guided learning at home. The perfect balance for modern families.
Dynamic On-Campus Learning,
Supported At-Home Exploration
Our K-8 Hybrid Program at Austin Micro School is designed for families seeking a flexible educational path that combines the rich, collaborative environment of our campus with the adaptability of guided at-home learning. Students join us two full days a week for intensive, hands-on instruction, project-based activities, specialist classes, and vital peer interaction within our unique "Core Skill Blocks" and "Project Blocks."
The remaining days are structured for meaningful at-home learning, supported by Austin Micro School's clear plans, resources, and a continued connection to our educational philosophy. This model empowers students to develop independence and time-management skills, while families benefit from a flexible schedule that doesn't compromise on the quality or depth of their child's education. It's a true partnership in learning.
