Our Process

Through a rigorous three-phase collaborative process, we design microschools that center learner needs, community partnership, and educational innovation to create schools where every learner can thrive.

Three-phase process: Discover, Design, Develop

The Power of Collective Design

The Southern California Microschool Design Cohort is a unique opportunity for schools to design in community, leveraging diverse perspectives, collaborative inspiration and authentic support between teams to create something more powerful than any single school could achieve alone.

Voices from the Design Teams

Hearing from the other district teams not only validated some ideas, but put many ideas in a new light. Continued opportunities to work between such a diversity of sites would be very rewarding.
