What is a Micro School?

A micro school is a small community of students and educators offering more personalized and flexible learning than a traditional private school.

Middle schoolers visit the Charlotte Urban Design Center to get ideas for their Cities of the Future engineering design challenge.

Founded in 2017, our micro school is a STEM-centered hybrid program for 1st through 12th-grade students.

We host two sessions per year: Fall and Spring. In both sessions, we present core science and engineering alongside global studies, world languages, literature, and creative writing in an interactive and engaging format.


2025-26 Enrollment Information:

Our theme for the 2025-26 school year is STEM Skool Presents World of Science: Earth Science and Environmental Biology.

Earth science, also known as geoscience, explores the physical, chemical, and biological relationships between the seven spheres comprising Earth's systems: the heliosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and anthroposphere.

Environmental Biology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with their environment, covering special topics in botany, zoology, ornithology, entomology, wildlife management, marine biology and oceanography, genetics, microbiology, and biodiversity.



Additional enrichment classes include:

Visual Art: A Look Into Photography and Film.

This year in STEM Skool Art, we will explore photography and film. Students will learn about the history of photography, the invention of the camera, and the first movie ever made, as well as influential figures in both the film and photography industries. Students will learn how to use a camera and the techniques both photographers and videographers use to create stunning works of art.

PE, Community, Health, and Wellness.

This offering combines physical education, health, and career exploration with interactive programming and workshops featuring special guests from around our local community.

High school students earn one full science credit (120+ hours) after completing both the fall and spring sessions.

Fall 2025: September 19th - December 19th (No classes on October 17th or November 28th)
