The 2020-2021 IndED MicroSchool Year

Fall 2020 – Spring 2021

Ages 10-15 — (Grades 5-8)
@StageCoach Theatre Company in Ashburn, VA

Overall, our three-day-a-week MircoSchool opportunity is a chance for families to get what they need academically while pursuing good character and sound communication skills in their kids:


Civics & Community

Tuesdays
11am to 3pm

On Tuesdays we will be learning the Explorers of the World, starting with the Silk Road, through the New World, and Pioneers of the West, all with IndED Director/Founder  Butch Porter. We’ll also have field trips and special guests to make sure that our kids get a good feel for the institutions and communities in which they live.


Arts & Technology 

Wednesdays
11am to 3pm

Our students will build their confidence with a firm foundation in acting, public speaking/voice, and stage presence, all under the tutelage of local theatre and acting coach, R Aaron Thompson.. We’ll also learn some backstage skills, graphic design, lighting and music, with our friends at CoderSchool in Ashburn, VA.


Language Arts & Science 

Thursdays
11am to 3pm

In “Writing and Language Arts”, our Mentor Helena Syska will be diving into Drama and Poetry, as well as the History of Science and Scientific Theory in our “Thinking Like a Scientist” class. Through their academic studies, the students will learn critical, inter-disciplinary analytical and critical thinking skills.


In addition to the classes, we offer: math support, journal prompts and literature  assignments (on-site and off-site) for a complete, full-curricular program outside of the school system.
