ACADEMICS at the MICRO-SCHOOL
Discovery and Learning
The academic program at Hill Country Micro-School places an emphasis on every aspect of our students' growth and development. We take advantage of the natural curiosity students possess by having our teachers present new information in creative ways and teach through exploratory experiences.
Our general curriculum includes a variety of challenging courses. Small mixed-grade classrooms and individualized curriculum allow the Hill Country Micro-School to offer an intimate and inclusive educational environment, while also ensuring each student receives the individualized attention and support they need.
