Microschools are becoming increasingly popular in Arizona as an alternative form of education, characterized by small class sizes, individualized instruction, and a strong sense of community. Typically hosted in homes or small venues, these schools offer a modern take on homeschooling, with parents and educators working together to design customized learning environments. A major factor in their expansion has been Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program, which enables families to use public funding for private education options like microschools.
