We prepare kids to run the world
by giving them a world to run.
MicroSociety® ignites students’ motivation to learn and prepares them to succeed and lead.
It addresses critical unmet needs:
Engaging Learning Environments
Students and educators thrive in environments where learning is relevant, hands-on, engaging, and inspiring.
Unlocked Potential
Students from all backgrounds deserve learning environments that drive academic success and open pathways to economic opportunity.
Future Readiness
All students need opportunities to explore, experience, and prepare for a fast-changing, digital world.
We transform schools into buzzing hubs of learning and innovation.
Our model motivates children to learn and lead by engaging them in the exciting adventure of creating and running a miniature society. MicroSociety citizens in K-8 schools and out-of-school-time programs run their own democratic governments, banks, businesses, and nonprofits. They choose jobs, earn and invest school currency, settle disputes, and innovate solutions to authentic challenges. These activities make classroom lessons relevant, harness students’ individual interests and abilities, and provide many ways to succeed.
When kids are put in charge, incredible things happen.
We believe in the power of kids to do extraordinary things. Our educators help them create their own world inside school and give them the power to run it.
Every day, students rise to this challenge—gaining confidence, responsibility, and academic and real-world skills. No matter their background or ability, every child can find their place and thrive. Through hands-on society-building, they develop entrepreneurial, workplace, financial, citizenship, and academic skills while learning to take risks, adapt, and lead.
MicroSociety shapes powerful thinkers, ready to succeed and lead in a complex world.
We help schools build strong learning environments.
MicroSociety Inc. equips educators with expert guidance to plan, launch, and grow impactful MicroSocieties. Our curriculum and instructional supports foster personalized learning that ensures every child flourishes.
