2025 - 2026 Two Day Microschool for 9 - 12 year - olds
Microschool students meet 2 consecutive days per week. Consecutive days allows students to have time to complete multi-day engineering challenges and projects without having to clean-up and put everything away for another class to use the same materials the next day. This school year, we will have a cohort for 9 - 12 year - olds on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
School Day is 9:30 - 1:00
Students will bring a lunch and snack.

SC Homeschool Regulations:
Parents enrolled in Ignite's Microschool will register with SC as option 3 Homeschoolers. Parents are responsible for ensuring their child competes 180 days of school. It is advisable that you join a homeschool association to help you complete homeschool regulations with the SC Department of Education. Ignite is not a homeschool association and does not submit documentation to the State.
​
Tuition:
2024 - 2025 tuition is $2800. Tuition can be paid in full or monthly
​
Attendance:
There are no attendance requirements. Families are free to take vacations or choose not attend school for any reason. However, tuition will not be prorated or returned for days missed.
​
Parents commit to enrolling their child(ren) and paying tuition for the entire year. With such a small group of students, it will put undue pressure on Ignite to have children leave throughout the semester. If, however, Ignite and the family come to a mutual agreement that Ignite Microschool is not your child’s best learning environment, we will discuss options for ending the contract.
​
Admissions:
-
Complete and submit the Microschool Interest Form. Beth Kinzer will contact you to schedule an interest call.
-
Complete the Microschool Application form for each child.
-
Submit Reference Forms from two people who have worked with your child as a teacher, coach, club leader, nanny, babysitter, or medical provider.
-
Upon receipt of the application and references, the admissions committee will review the application and Beth Kinzer will contact you regarding the admission decision.
-
$100 non-refundable registration fee is due upon enrollment to hold the child's spot. This fee will only be collected once a year. Parents with children enrolled in the fall semester will not pay the registration fee for the Winter/Spring Semester.
