Where curiosity takes you further.
The OOTWA program is a K–5 microschool curriculum that blends mastery-based core skills, project-based afternoons, and the personalized attention only a small school can give.
Four pillars of a day at Out Of This World Learning Academy.
A microschool day looks different from a traditional school day. Smaller groups, longer blocks, more conversation, more agency. Here's the rhythm.
Inspire Curiosity
Mornings open with a Socratic conversation that turns every lesson into a question children want to answer.
Explore Possibilities
Personalized core-skills practice in reading, writing, and math — adaptive software plus a guide at each child’s side.
Empower Learners
Afternoons are project-based: science investigations, creative writing, and community-connected exploration around Miami.
Achieve Excellence
Daily goal-setting and end-of-day reflection build the habits that compound into mastery over the K–5 years.

Two grade bands, one community
OOTWA serves Kindergarten through 5th grade. Learners move between two grade bands as their skills (not their age) dictate. Mixed-age grouping is one of the quiet superpowers of the microschool model — younger learners are pulled forward by older peers, and older learners deepen their own understanding by teaching.
Small class sizes by design · Low student-to-guide ratio · Curriculum provided by the Prenda microschool network. Specific cohort cap, ratio, and software details are walked through with families on a tour.
K–2 (Early Elementary)
Phonics-first reading, number sense, fine motor and social skills, lots of play-based and hands-on learning.
3–5 (Upper Elementary)
Independent reading, writing across genres, multi-step problem solving, beginning research projects and presentations.
What sets OOTWA apart
Global Mindset
Miami is a city of the world. Our projects reflect it — language exposure, world cultures, environmental science of the South Florida ecosystem.
Curious Minds
We protect children’s natural curiosity by replacing busywork with real work — questions worth answering, projects worth finishing.
Curious how this compares to homeschool or a traditional private school?
