What is a Hybrid Microschool?
A hybrid microschool blends the flexibility and family involvement of homeschooling with the structure, support, and community of a traditional classroom. At Mustard Seed Academy, students attend school two or four days each week for engaging, teacher-led instruction while continuing their education at home with the guidance of their parents. This unique model allows families to remain actively involved in their child’s education while providing students with meaningful friendships, hands-on learning experiences, and personalized academic support in a small group setting.
Whether your family is new to homeschooling or has been homeschooling for years, our hybrid program is designed to encourage academic growth, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of learning.
Student Success
At Mustard Seed Academy, we are committed to helping every student succeed. Teachers regularly monitor student progress through classroom observations, participation, assignments, and informal assessments to ensure students are developing a strong understanding of each concept as they move through the curriculum. We maintain open communication with families, celebrate milestones, and provide additional support when needed. By partnering with parents, we create a consistent and encouraging learning experience that fosters academic growth, confidence, character, and a lifelong love of learning.
Partnering with Families
We believe that education is most successful when families and teachers work together as partners. At Mustard Seed Academy, parents remain actively involved in their child’s education while our teachers provide engaging instruction, academic guidance, and ongoing support in the classroom. We maintain consistent communication through our Playground app, progress updates, newsletters, and personal conversations, ensuring families stay informed and connected throughout the school year. Together, we
create a collaborative learning environment that supports each student’s academic, social, and personal growth.
Our School Culture
At Mustard Seed Academy, we believe a positive learning environment is built on kindness, respect, integrity, responsibility, and compassion. We strive to create a school community where every child feels known, valued, encouraged, and inspired to grow.
Our shared values guide the way we treat others, build relationships, make thoughtful choices, and contribute to our school community. Through meaningful connections, high expectations, and genuine care, we help children develop strong character, confidence, and a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the classroom.
