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.

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.
