What if education looked less like a system—and more like a community built around your child’s potential? In this week’s episode of American Classroom, hosts Jared Taylor and Lindsay Crosland sit down with Kelly Smith, CEO and founder of Prenda, to explore the transformative world of micro-schools. These small, personalized learning environments are helping students become confident, self-directed learners through mixed-age collaboration, individualized attention, and a focus on agency and purpose.
Whether you’re a parent looking for a better fit or an educator seeking meaningful change, this conversation will inspire you to reimagine what school can be.
