The abrupt end to the school year (in many places) has thrown teachers, parents and students into a tizzy. If students remain out until Fall, many will have been out of school 5-6 months. That is a long time out of the instruction and structure of a classroom. What I am hoping emerges from this impromptu time out of school are creative alternatives. One such alternative is Safari Small Schools in Canton, Texas.

I started Safari Small Schools to meet the needs of students who for whatever reason do not thrive in the traditional classroom. With a maximum of five students enrolled in a one-room “schoolhouse”, students can be taught the way they learn best. Individual needs can be met and students can achieve socially and academically. Students with behavior challenges, special needs (though not all special needs) or who simply need a small learning environment will likely thrive at Safari Small Schools.
