About the Microschool Directory
Meridian launched the first microschool directory in 2016 to support visibility and connection across the global grassroots microschool ecosystem. The directory includes schools representing a wide range of educational philosophies and models. Some schools are featured or display Meridian accreditation based on participation within the Meridian community. Listings are maintained by schools themselves.
MISSION
Our mission at Juniper Micro School is to create a collaborative community that cherishes curiosity, nurtures each child’s unique strengths and helps children develop the skills and mindsets to boldly follow their passions to become tomorrow’s change agents.
VALUES
We don’t wait for change - we are the changemakers. At Juniper we value innovation and research. We follow a progressive philosophy based on current, high-quality research on brain and child development.
We dare kids to be bold. In a rapidly changing and complex world, we emphasize resilience, critical thinking, risk-taking, intrinsic motivation and creative problem solving over rote memorization.
An education as unique as your child. Juniper’s intimate community allows us to provide an extremely personalized learning environment for students where individual strengths are valued and nurtured.
The power of the micro school. The micro school model is lean, agile and efficient. It allows us to serve as a truly innovative grassroots leader in reimagining education.
Not all preschools and private schools are the same and we work hard to stand out with our unique approach to teaching, learning and life skills education. The school is located on the outskirts of Mount Dora, Florida in the quite neighborhood of Tangerine, where our time tested values fit in with the existing natural and facility environment. Our students come from Lake, Orange and Seminole Counties, more specifically as far as Apopka and Altamonte Springs. The quality of our program is unmatched by child care centers in our immediate vicinity and we strive to maintain our quality in the future. If you would like to take a tour of our school, please call us to make an appointment. Your visit will take about an hour. We will show you the school and answer questions in regards to our services, policies, curriculum choices, meals and snacks. Currently we are registering for Pre-Kindergarten ages 2 -5 (comparable with the state funded VPK program), private Kindergarten and for summer camp grades K-3.
