Blazing Star was founded on a simple but radical belief: children thrive when they are trusted. As conversations around alternative education continue to grow, we’re honored to have our work featured in regional media and public forums exploring what school can become.
As a microschool rooted in curiosity, creativity, and autonomy, we’re honored to see this work gaining broader attention.
We’re grateful for opportunities to share this work and to contribute to a broader conversation about trusting young people, and reimagining education.
