"Together, these factors have primed Texas for a microschool boom” - Houston Chronicle For teachers frustrated by constraints in public schools, "The microschool model, a blend of private and home school, has given them more control over the classroom." houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

See how Montessori education works at 2 Houston microschools, despite high costs

Montessori schools are not just attracting students and families; they are luring teachers to strike out on and try something new.

Could Texas’ school voucher program help the microschool movement gain traction? School choice could be a growth opportunity for microschools, but opting into the $1 billion program could come at a cost for schools that are used to being autonomous. dallasnews.com/news/educatio…

Could Texas' school voucher program help the microschool movement gain traction?

With TEFA, Texas' education savings accounts program, set to launch, some microschools are optimistic the school voucher-like funding can help expand their reach and provide stable funding.
