Founders’ Statement

As founders and directors of Red River Microschool, our heart is to serve families in our local community. We recognize that many families in our area are navigating real financial constraints, and it is deeply important to us that quality, meaningful education feels accessible rather than out of reach.

Our tuition is set with great care and intention. We are charging only what is necessary to cover teacher salaries and the basic costs of running the school, including curriculum, instructional materials, and essential supplies. Neither of us takes a salary from the school.

Red River Microschool exists because we believe children deserve a rich, thoughtful education rooted in care, connection, and community — and we are committed to stewarding this school in a way that honors the families we serve.
