Small numbers

Knowledge Seekers only has a capacity for 8 students.

Is this good or bad?

Knowledge Seekers can meet more students needs (not all students needs but more) with a small number of students. Our ability to be flexible and intentional is possible when we have a smaller class size. Students have the time to voice their needs and the teacher more time to support.

Take a look at this article by Hessun academy about micro schools.

I love this quote it speaks to the fact that students have a lot going on and its not just about what is happening in the classroom “…the benefits of micro-schools offer advantages that resonate deeply with families who seek a more engaging, holistic, and effective education for their children.”
