About the National Hybrid Schools Project
The National Hybrid Schools Project is a leading national hub for research, practical insights, and collaboration in the fast-growing world of hybrid and microschool education. As families and educators increasingly seek flexible, student-centered alternatives to traditional schooling, we provide trusted information, emerging research, and a connected space for those building and supporting the future of K–12 learning models.
We are dedicated to documenting and analyzing the diverse, independent efforts reshaping K–12 education beyond traditional systems. Across the country, founders, educators, and small organizations are developing innovative models designed to better meet the needs of today’s students and families. By capturing these efforts, identifying emerging trends, and producing original data and analysis, the National Hybrid Schools Project brings clarity and credibility to a rapidly evolving—and often fragmented—landscape. It also serves as a convener, bringing together practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and school founders to connect, share insights, and advance the field collectively, helping stakeholders stay informed, inspired, and ahead of the curve.
