Taking a First Principles approach means breaking down education into its most basic elements to build a meaningful and effective learning experience from the ground up. We focus on the fundamental purpose of education — developing young leaders equipped with the knowledge and skills to contribute positively to society. By questioning assumptions and understanding the core principles of learning, we tailor our curriculum to each student's unique needs, foster a diverse and supportive teaching environment, and use various learning settings to provide real-world applications of knowledge.

Our curriculum incorporates many elements of the Montessori approach, such as mixed-age classrooms, hands-on materials, and a focus on student-led learning. We believe Maria Montessori would have continued to develop the curriculum, materials, and methods to accommodate the needs and opportunities of the modern world — and this is our aspiration at Austin Micro.

Austin Micro School is located south of Austin, approximately 18 miles from downtown, on a 3-acre campus at 13203 Gunsmith Drive, Manchaca, TX 78652.

Austin Micro School is an accredited K-12 school with three communities: Lower Elementary (K-2), Upper Elementary (grades 3-5), and Adolescent (6th grade and up).

We ask that you schedule a call with one of the Austin Micro team. On that call we will discuss the educational goals you have for your student and identify next steps, including touring the campus.

A young leader at Austin Micro demonstrates qualities that prepare students to be proactive and impactful members of society: confidence, adaptability, critical thinking, creativity, social responsibility, technological proficiency, and effective collaboration. These qualities are nurtured throughout the student's journey with Austin Micro.

Austin Micro performs a diagnostic assessment of each student at the beginning of each year to identify areas of strength and opportunities for development — the foundation for each student's personalized learning path. Each year students also take the NWEA MAP Growth assessment — a nationally normed, adaptive measure of individual academic growth — alongside other quantitative and qualitative assessments to ensure each student is progressing appropriately and achieving mastery.
