How Our Microschool Works
How Our Microschool Works
What Makes This Special:
• Maximum 15 students per block ensures individual attention
• Project-based learning makes academic skills meaningful and memorable
• Trauma-informed approach helps children feel safe to learn and grow
• Real-world experiences through monthly Kids Market and community projects
• Partnership with professional entrepreneurs and creative mentors
• Built-in community for homeschooling families seeking connection and support

Our students consistently demonstrate real academic growth, because they learn through engaging, hands-on projects. When children feel emotionally safe and intellectually challenged, they naturally excel.
Meet The Founder
Future Makers was founded in 2018 by Melissa Flaxman, M.Ed. The curriculum is created and delivered by Melissa. She has a Masters degree in Special Education and more then 20 years experience in public, private, and micro-schools. She was also a pioneer in the microschooling movement.
Why?: Children who learn through creativity, thrive in smaller groups, love hands-on projects, or are recovering from difficult school experiences consistently rediscover their joy in learning and build genuine confidence through real achievement.
Our partnership with Sparked Artists allows families to add performing arts classes to their schedule all in the same amazing studio!
