Florida Citizens Alliance
Microschool Initiative
OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE, AND OUR VISION IS CLEAR:
WE HELP PARENTS TAKE BACK THEIR KIDS EDUCATION
Before the establishment of public education and compulsory school attendance, Americans were known for their exceptional literacy rates. Communities took the responsibility to educate the poor through charity and free schools, while home tutoring was prevalent. Various educational institutions, such as private schools, church schools, academies, and common schools, also existed. However, with the rise of the “Common School” Movement, government influence in education gradually diminished the control and influence families had over their children’s education. Because of this, we’re seeing the consequences in real-time. For a more in-depth look at Florida’s grades, click “LEARN MORE.”
We believe that our children are the future, and we must, by whatever means necessary, provide them every opportunity to receive the education they need to become responsible, productive members of society. We understand the urgency of this issue and the impact it has on our children and our society as a whole. Our Micro-School Initiative aims to address this by promoting community-based learning environments that offer personalized, high-quality education alternatives to traditional public schools.

We understand that the idea of starting a microschool can be a little scary. In fact, we run into this “fear factor” with parents and churches quite often. That’s why we’ve partnered with several similar, yet unique, value-aligned curriculum, supplemental resource, and professional development providers. While they all share a dedication to high-quality, faith-based, God-centric education, their distinctive approaches provide a variety of options to choose from.

We also offer ongoing support provided by a consistently growing team of local ambassadors. Our ambassadors are trained to assist churches and families in starting their very own faith-based, liberty-minded, self-governing microschool or another exciting alternative. As education consultants, their primary focus is ensuring that every family is empowered to make the right educational decisions for their children; helping them find the training, tools, and materials they need, no matter what education model they choose.

a message from our CEO
Government schooling is a sinking ship, and if parents don’t get their kids off the boat… well, it won’t matter if they’re on the first floor, or the main deck, they will all eventually drown. It’s time to stand up and say:
“NO MORE GOVERNMENT-RUN PUBLIC SCHOOL.“
