Indiana’s First Public Microschool Network Offers Flexible Learning for Students

Indiana has launched its first publicly funded network of microschools, aiming to offer a more flexible approach to education. The initiative, known as the Indiana Microschool Collaborative, provides personalized learning while remaining part of the public school system. Director Kate Hosier leads the project, which seeks to expand choices for families without replacing traditional schools.

The first microschool opened in Hancock County, serving 63 students from kindergarten to 12th grade. Another 30 students remain on a waitlist, showing strong early demand. Each day combines personalized lessons with project-based work, emphasizing real-world applications.

The Indiana Microschool Collaborative offers an alternative within the public education system, blending flexibility with structured support. With its first location already at capacity, the model could influence how schools adapt to diverse student needs. The program's success may depend on balancing personalization with the broader demands of public education.
