The best of flexibility, support, and community.
Your pace. Our support. Our community.
Two small programs in Mesa. A hybrid learning lab for grades 6–12 and a multi-age microschool for grades K–5. Students work independently, but never alone.
A hybrid learning lab for students who need a different way through high school.
Your pace
Catch up on credits, move ahead, or just work at a pace that fits. Every student makes real progress toward their own goals.
Our support
A learning coach tracks progress daily, holds students accountable, celebrates wins, and steps in fast when something goes sideways.
Our community
We keep enrollment small on purpose. Students are known by name, build real friendships, and belong somewhere.
A week at the Learning Lab.
Flexible, with structure you can see. Learning Lab students are on campus Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Fridays are coursework from home.
Coursework, one-on-one check-ins, goals set for the week.
Focused work time with a coach in the room.
Community & Innovation Day. Seminars and team projects.
Progress review, catch-up blocks, art studio time.
Independent coursework. Clear expectations, checked Monday.
For the first 30 days every Learning Lab student attends all four campus days while we build routines and relationships. After that, students who show responsibility and steady progress can earn more remote flexibility. Visual arts run alongside the academic day for students who are ahead, need a break from the screen, or want to build a portfolio. An elective art credit is available.
Community & Innovation Day
Every Wednesday the whole Learning Lab is on campus together. Mornings are interactive seminars: communication, leadership, character, financial literacy, goal setting, problem solving.
Afternoons are large-scale real projects. Solving an actual community problem, making a product, running an event, launching a small business. Every student has a defined role and the team needs them to do it.
Three students we build this for.
Needs a smaller room
Students who shut down in a 2,000-student high school often come back to life in a calm, focused, supportive space.
Needs real flexibility
Students who need to move at their own speed but still need structure, accountability, and someone checking in.
Independent, not isolated
Students who can drive their own learning but do not want to do it by themselves at the kitchen table.
A small school with a big commitment to knowing every child.
One multi-age community. Four days on campus, with an optional fifth.
Children learn in one multi-age group rather than separate grade-level classrooms, so a student can sit in a reading group above their grade and a math group below it in the same morning. Every child gets mentors and someone to teach.
The day is built around small-group targeted instruction, collaborative projects, and independent work matched to where each child actually is. Class size stays intentionally small so every child is known, supported, and pushed.
The full program day, four days a week.
Come if it helps your week. Skip it if it does not.
Come see the room before you decide.
Tell us about your student and we will call you back, answer your questions honestly, and say so if this is not the right fit. Tours run during the school day so you can see the program actually running.

Lumos Elementary Microschool
A small school with a big commitment to knowing every child.
Lumos Elementary Microschool serves students in Kindergarten through 5th grade in a small, multi-age learning community designed to provide individualized attention, meaningful relationships, and engaging hands-on learning experiences. Unlike traditional classrooms, our microschool combines students across grade levels, allowing each child to learn at their own pace while benefiting from collaboration, mentorship, and a strong sense of belonging.
Through station-based learning, students work in small groups, receive targeted instruction, participate in collaborative projects, and engage in independent learning tailored to their individual needs. Our intentionally small class size ensures that every student is known, supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
At Lumos, we believe children learn best when they are part of a caring community where they feel seen, valued, and inspired to explore. Our goal is simple: to create an environment where every child can thrive and develop a lifelong love of learning.
