During this engaging discussion, Mickey will share highlights and key findings from her research, including microschooling’s social impact and the opportunities and challenges she expects it to face in the future with more families choosing microschools and other unconventional learning environments.

Microschools serve families from every background, including students coming from public, private, charter, and homeschool settings. They’re built around flexibility, relationships, and meeting students where they are.

What’s the biggest misconception you’ve heard about microschools?

We are so thrilled to announce that the Center welcomed our thousandth member in June!

Dr. Sharon King-Dobson is the founder of BrightGate Academy, a specialized microschool preparing to open in Fleming Island, Florida. BrightGate Academy will serve students through second grade in a small, supportive, and academically focused learning environment. The school is designed for children with learning differences, students who are academically at risk, and young learners who simply benefit from smaller class sizes, personalized support, and a calmer educational setting.

After more than 20 years in education, as a special education teacher, curriculum and special education administrator, and Assistant Superintendent of Student Services and Curriculum, Dr. King-Dobson saw firsthand how easily children can struggle or become overlooked in large classrooms. She is launching BrightGate Academy to create a place where children are truly known, where learning gaps can be addressed early, and where students can build both academic skills and confidence.

Dr. King-Dobson holds a doctorate in education and brings extensive experience in special education, curriculum development, instructional leadership, and school administration to this next chapter of her career.

BrightGate Academy’s guiding message is: Every Child’s Path to a Brighter Future
