Do you accept neurodiverse students with learning differences and special needs?
Yes, the inherent structure of our school allows us school to accommodate neurodiverse students with learning differences. Our warm, nurturing environment naturally provides several common learning supports that diverse learners need. These include but are not limited to small class sizes, additional time to complete assignments, movement breaks, instruction at each child’s individual level, and academic remediation.
Students need to feel connected and engaged in their learning. At ReThink Microschools, the strong program of inquiry, combined with important foundation skills instruction, allows each student to develop a love of learning and a curiosity about the world around them. We assess each applicant on a case-by-case basis and accept those who fit within our program.
How many students are in each classroom?
Our classes are capped at 10 students per class.
What is your homework and testing policy?
We use assessments strategically, including a diagnostic test at the beginning of the year, progress checks during the school year, and pre-testing/post-quizzing aligned with specific learning units.
We prioritize meaningful learning over traditional homework burdens. Research shows no significant benefit to blanket homework assignments. Instead, we focus on targeted practice throughout the school day and encourage activities like reading for pleasure, unstructured time for creative learning integration, and family discussions about the day's learning.
If a family requests homework, we will send targeted practice home.
Do you administer medication?
Yes, we administer medications to meet your child’s needs.
