MicroSociety
Location: National
For more than 15 years, MicroSociety, Inc. has been creating learning environments that are meaningful and relevant to children. Beyond project based learning or one day simulations, our real life business ventures and government agency activities are long-term, authentic, and interconnected. They inspire success. We help children find meaning and purpose in their education and prepare them to be discerning students as they proceed through higher education and ultimately into adulthood as productive, contributing citizens and skilled innovators in a global economy.
Highlights:
“The MicroSociety approach is an example of applying real learning theory to children’s lives. It’s authentic. It not only mimics, but prepares children for the real tasks they’ll have to do when they leave school: work for other people, solve problems, and use resources wisely. That’s what we want.” ~Linda Darling Hammond, Stanford University
