MICROSCHOOLS

An Old Model Finding New Life

Education

INNOVATIVE

Summary: Microshools are one of the fastest growing models of education in the US. These small private schools focus on student acheivement, unique educational models, and partnering with parents as their child's primary educator. San Juan Diego Institute has worked with dozens of microschools that serve under-represented communities to study their impact, increase access, and ensure their sustainability. In 2024 and 2025 we granted over $250,000 to microschools. You can learn more by watching the videos below or visiting the National Microschooling Center.

“As an Executive Director, I know I need an outside perspective to really gauge the operations and effectiveness of Fraternus, but there are so many voices that getting trustworthy help can be overwhelming.  Everyone has advice to give you (and consulting contracts to sign) but finding someone who really understands your mission and methods sometimes seems hopeless.  SJDI was just what we needed.  Almost two years out from their original assessment, I can see that their efforts and guidance has helped us reshape our efforts so that we know that the effectiveness of the mission is on par with our zeal for it.  We would not be there without SJDI.”
