What is a microschool?
A microschool is a small, intentionally sized learning environment—far fewer students than a traditional classroom—built for personalized instruction, close teacher-student relationships, and a more flexible, family-oriented approach to education. The Greenhouse School is a microschool with a target enrollment of just 10 students in our core program.
What is a hybrid school?
A hybrid school blends in-person instruction with a homeschool structure. Students attend in person part of the week—for us, Tuesdays and Thursdays—and continue learning at home the rest of the week under family guidance. It gives families flexibility and ownership over their child’s education while still providing community, structure, and expert instruction.
What grades will you serve?
Our core program launches with Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, and we’re also building enrichment opportunities for homeschool students in other grades through 12th Grade.
When is the first day?
The first day of the 2026–2027 school year is September 8, 2026.
What days will students attend?
The primary in-person learning rhythm is Tuesdays and Thursdays, with selected Friday Cultivation Days for hands-on and real-world experiences.
Is The Greenhouse School designed for homeschooling families?
Yes. Our hybrid model is intentionally structured to support homeschooling families. We provide in-person instruction, community, enrichment and hands-on experiences while leaving meaningful room for each family’s home-learning rhythm.
How large are classes?
Class sizes are intentionally small so every child can be known, supported and challenged with care. Each class will have up to 10 students.
Is The Greenhouse School faith-based?
Yes. We’re intentionally Christ-centered, with biblical truth woven throughout learning, character formation and practical life. Families from Christian traditions are welcome.
How is progress measured?
Our approach emphasizes mastery and meaningful growth rather than making traditional A–F grades the center of learning.
What is the role of nutrition and wellness?
We treat nutrition, movement and wellness as part of the educational model, not an add-on. Students take part in age-appropriate food preparation, whole-food learning, cold-pressed juice making, freshly milled bread, cooking experiences and conversations about how nourishment supports energy, mood and focus.
Will there be opportunities for parents and caregivers?
Yes. Our school thrives on family involvement and participation. Our Collab Days are quarterly family workshops planned to help families learn, connect and strengthen the rhythms that support children at school and at home. There will also be many other opportunities for growth and community throughout the year.
What is the Family’s Contribution?
The Greenhouse School uses a simple, all-inclusive pricing model called the Family’s Contribution—one price that covers your child’s full experience, not a series of line-item add-ons. A separate application fee and enrollment fee apply during the admissions process, and families enrolling more than one child receive a 10% sibling discount. Our first 10 founding families also receive a special Founding Family discount. For the full schedule, just email us or fill out the form on our Contact page and we’ll send it your way. We also grant scholarships and financial assistance upon request, on a case-by-case basis.
What does the enrollment process look like?
It starts with joining our interest list. From there, we’ll schedule a Connection Call, followed by an in-person tour of The Greenhouse. Once you’re ready to move forward, you’ll complete the enrollment paperwork, and your family will be invited to Discovery Day—an in-person experience day where your child gets to meet their teacher and classroom before their first official day.
What are the hours on in-person days?
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, academic hours run from 9:30am to 1:30pm.
Is The Greenhouse School a licensed school?
The Greenhouse School operates under Georgia’s Learning Pod Protection Act, which categorically exempts small, family-style programs like ours from DECAL (state) licensing requirements. Because we’re a hybrid model, families are also responsible for submitting their Declaration of Intent to homeschool with the Georgia Department of Education within the required timeframe. We’re happy to walk you through that process.
Where are you located?
We’re based in Woodstock, Georgia.
