What is a Microschool?
A microschool offers the best of both worlds—the nurturing, personalized feel of homeschooling combined with the structure, community, and high-quality instruction of a small private school. With just a handful of students, children get individualized attention, hands-on learning, and a calm environment where they can grow at their own pace.
Why Choose Coastal Roots Academy?
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Claye, the founder and educator of Coastal Roots Academy. I’m a certified teacher with 12 years of teaching experience in Pre-K through 6th grade.
As both a mom and educator, I value connection, curiosity, and meaningful learning moments. I created Coastal Roots Academy to provide families with a small, high-quality microschool option that blends strong academics with creativity, social-emotional growth, and individualized instruction. I hope to create a learning environment for children that is joyful, hands-on, and deeply connected. A place where kids can feel safe, inspired, and excited to learn every day.
