A complete academic program for microschools, charter and private schools, and co-ops
Integrated learning, built for multi-age classrooms
A complete Grades 3 to 5 program that weaves reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and project work into one connected year, and reaches every learner in the room, whether that room spans three grades or one, a single teacher or a whole staff. Stop piecing curriculum together and start teaching.
You started something incredible. Now spend your hours teaching, not stitching together materials that were never meant to fit.
It is the five open tabs. The reading program written for one grade and the math program written for another. The unit you quietly rewrite every week so it fits the room you actually have. You adapt, you cut, you paste, and you still walk in on Monday wondering whether the student who is two years behind and the one racing ahead are both getting what they need.
MicroCore hands you the whole curriculum, already woven together, so your hours go back to teaching.

Every Domain Is Built Around One Question the Whole Room Is Trying to Answer.
This is what “woven together” actually means. One question pulls every subject in the same direction for seven weeks, the whole class stays in one conversation, and each student enters it at the right depth.
One Question
Each domain is anchored to a single driving question that pulls reading, writing, social studies, science, and project work in the same direction.
One Shared Experience
Every student works from the same texts, ideas, and investigations. The class stays in one conversation, never split into separate tracks.
Many Levels of Access
The depth flexes by learner inside each lesson, so every student can participate meaningfully while growing at the right pace.
One Public Exhibition
The domain ends with students presenting original, evidence-based work to a real audience and celebrating their learning.
Because every subject orbits one question for seven weeks, knowledge compounds instead of resetting every unit. That is not just tidy design. It is how comprehension is actually built.

Many Levels of Access
The depth flexes by learner inside each lesson, so the student who is behind and the one racing ahead are both fully in
the work.
One Shared Experience
Every student works from the same texts, ideas, and investigations. The class is always in one conversation, never split into separate tracks.
One Public Exhibition
The domain ends with students presenting original, evidence-based work to a real audience. The moment families see exactly what their kids can do.

Together in the same work, and still met at their own level.
The shared experience is only half of how MicroCore reaches every learner. Running right alongside it is a dedicated layer of targeted instruction, so personalization comes from intentional design, not from you improvising on the fly.
Structured literacy foundations
Every student gets explicit phonics and phonemic awareness practice built on the Science of Reading, sequenced so no reader is guessing and no reader is held back.
Math meets every student through one shared opener
Each day starts with an opener that invites the whole class into the same task, then opens into individual pathways built for different levels and backed by responsive math groups, so every student has a way in and a place to grow.
Shared knowledge and community on one side, instruction matched to each student on the other. Neither replaces the other. That is how every learner, well below grade level or racing past it, gets a real path to grow.
Protected small-group and conferring time
Built into the daily rhythm, so you teach individuals and small groups while the rest of the class works with real purpose.
Stages and Levels describe the work, not the child
Placement is fluid. A student can read at one stage and work math at another, and move freely as they grow.
Take a look inside Domain 1
Domain 1 is Communities and Culture. It runs nine weeks: two to build your classroom community first, then seven where every subject pulls toward one question. Why do some communities stay strong while others fall apart?
A rhythm your students learn once and run all year.
Every MicroCore day moves through the same six blocks, in the same order. Students learn the rhythm in the first week and carry it from there, so they spend their energy on learning instead of figuring out what comes next, and you spend yours teaching instead of managing.
01
We Gather
The class comes together to settle in and connect before any academic work begins.
04
We Read, Write, Share
Reading and writing practice, with protected time for you to confer and pull small groups.
02
We Build Knowledge
A shared text and discussion build the knowledge every student needs for the week's big idea.
05
We Reason and Explore
The daily math block: one shared opener, then pathways at every level.
03
We Investigate
Students dig into evidence and questions and build toward the exhibition.
06
We Close
The class reflects, names what they learned, and connects it back to the question.
Built for your room, not adapted to it.
Most curriculum was designed for a single grade in a traditional classroom. MicroCore was built for a different reality, and it shows up in what your week actually looks like.
| What you're doing now | With MicroCore |
|---|---|
| Combine four to six different programs | One integrated curriculum |
| Rewrite lessons for mixed ages | Teach from one shared experience |
| Build projects from scratch | Follow built-in investigations |
| Handle community and academics separately | Community woven through every day |
| Spend evenings connecting it all | Open it tomorrow and teach |
Built on the research, not on a trend.
Every structural decision in MicroCore is grounded in established educational research, from the shape of the day to the way every learner is reached. It's rigor you can stand behind with any parent, board, or reviewer.
Knowledge is how reading comprehension is built
Anchoring every subject to one question across a domain isn't a design preference. It's a reading comprehension intervention, grounded in the knowledge-building work of E.D. Hirsch and Natalie Wexler.
Readers grow by reading
Protected reading and writing time with structured choice reflects Richard Allington's research on reading volume, the single strongest predictor of vocabulary and fluency growth.
Regulate, then teach
Every day opens with community and connection before academics, because the research is clear (Bruce Perry, Responsive Classroom): a regulated, connected student is the one who can actually take in instruction.
Math from concrete to abstract
Every math concept moves through concrete, then representational, then abstract, the sequence Jerome Bruner and Jo Boaler show builds durable understanding instead of fragile procedures.
