Micro school is exactly what it implies: it is a small school with the number of students ranging between 10 to 150. Micro-schools vary in the type-setting and curricula but all benefit from close community of students and lasting relationships. The signature of Wellbright micro-schools is life readiness which focuses on teaching life skills.
Wellbright School can operate as a part-time school and a 5 day program. We offer flexible educational plans: 2 day plan, 2 day plan +Enrichment Day, 4 day plan, 4 day plan + Enrichment Day, or Enrichment Day only. We operate Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 3:o0 PM with Before and After School programs available upon request.

Depending on the interests of students and families, Enrichment Days can cover topics of Robotics, Music, Gardening, Cooking, Arts and Crafts, Survival Skills, and so much more.
We do not offer half-day attendance as our programs are designed to provide a full day of holistic development.

At the end of each trimester, we provide a performance report. We stay in regular contact with parents and keep them posted on their children performance.
We are committed to creating a supportive learning environment for every child when we can. We do not necessarily specialize in working with students with special needs, but in many cases we can help them to succeed. Our flexible classroom culture allows students to move freely—whether walking, sitting on cushions, or standing. We pay attention to student diets as students are taught healthy eating habits and required to eat healthy snacks and lunches. Additionally, our daily schedule includes activities designed to enhance self-regulation, along with ample opportunities for physical and social engagement.
While we are not specifically trained to support children with serious learning disabilities, we are open to discussing potential accommodations. Please contact us to schedule a call to explore how we might assist your child.
We limit screen time to 60 minutes per day for younger students and up to 120 minutes for older students. Phones are not permitted during school hours.
There is no formal dress code at Wellbright. We recommend that students dress appropriately for the weather and comfortably for daily outdoor activities and physical education.
Students should bring a laptop or tablet, its charger, headphones, a bottle of water, a snack and and lunch. We notify parents about any special materials needed for projects or cooking classes.
We encourage parents to engage in regular, meaningful conversations with their children about their successes and challenges. Parents are expected to monitor that their children pack their lunches and are dressed according to the weather. Parents of part-time students are expected to support Wellbright schedule when children stay at home. This year we started a parent organization to meet monthly to discuss anything they find important but mostly enrichment activities like events and fieldtrips. Besides this parents participate on the Band platform to stay connected and communicate their ideas.
