Washington Public Microschool Collaborative
A school within a school—where every child is known and thrives.
About Us
The Washington Public Microschool Collaborative supports school districts in designing and launching public microschools—small, personalized learning communities within existing schools.
This work is part of a broader effort to advance public education so it aligns with modern developmental science—how young people grow, learn, and develop into capable, thriving adults in a rapidly changing world.
In partnership with districts, we focus on what is both research-aligned and system-realistic: models that operate within existing schools, staffing, and funding structures while meaningfully improving student experience and outcomes.
This is not a separate system.
It is a practical path to evolve the one we already have.
