Mission
Velocity Microschool empowers students to discover their unique path and pace. We create a calm, flexible learning environment where curiosity drives exploration, individuality is celebrated, and mastery replaces memorization. As a neurodiverse-affirming school, we specifically aim to provide supports to students who fit in this category and need something different from traditional structures.
Vision
Our vision is to create a unique space empowers students to become proud owners of their learning while celebrating their passions and curiosities. Velocity Microschool aims to be a model space that shows what school could be when we break through traditional structures of instruction.
