Igniting Curiosity, Empowering Minds
At Lantern Learning Micro School, our programs are thoughtfully designed to nurture every child’s natural curiosity, build foundational skills, and foster a lifelong love of learning. We provide flexible, full-day options for students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade, with an emphasis on exploration, independence, and collaboration.
Full-Day Program Options
K–8 | 5 Days a Week
For families seeking a consistent, full-time educational experience, our 5-day program offers a robust and enriching curriculum infused with inquiry-based learning, academic rigor, and hands-on projects.
K–8 | 3 Days a Week
Our 3-day model is ideal for families looking for flexibility while still benefiting from our immersive, child-centered approach. Students participate in all core subjects and project-based experiences.
Homeschool Enrichment
A supplemental educational program aimed at enhancing your child’s homeschooling curriculum. We provide opportunities for social interaction, specialized instruction, and hands-on learning experiences in our design spaces that might be difficult to replicate at home.
Core Learning Components
✨ Reggio Emilia-Inspired Inquiry
Children are encouraged to ask questions, explore their environment, and take an active role in their learning journey through self-directed and collaborative discovery.
Self-Paced Core Subjects
We meet each child where they are. Our students progress through math, literacy, science, and social studies at their own pace with guidance from skilled educators.
Afternoon Project-Based Exploration
Every afternoon, learners dive into thematic, interdisciplinary projects that spark creativity, problem-solving, and real-world application of knowledge.
Specialized Learning Spaces
-
Atelier & STEM Space: A creative studio and innovation lab for building, experimenting, and artistic expression.

Digital Research & Design Lab: Technology-rich space for multimedia creation, digital storytelling, and student-led inquiry.

Outdoor Exploration: Frequent outdoor play and nature-based learning in local parks and green spaces.
Spanish Dual-Language Program
We offer Spanish language immersion integrated across subjects to help students build cultural awareness and bilingual proficiency in a natural, meaningful way.
Social & Emotional Growth
Our use of Conscious Discipline helps children develop self-awareness, empathy, and strong interpersonal skills, laying the groundwork for success both in school and in life.
Screen-free Learning
The core subjects—reading, writing, math, and science—are thoughtfully tailored to meet each child’s unique learning pace and individual style. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we recognize that every child absorbs and processes information differently. That’s why our educators adapt instruction to align with each student’s strengths, interests, and developmental stage. We partner closely with parents to select fully analogue, screen-free curricula that foster not only academic growth but also confidence, independence, and a genuine love for learning. These hands-on, engaging materials promote true mastery and deeper comprehension, encouraging children to explore, question, and connect with the world around them—without relying on digital devices.
