Skola simply translates to “School” in Swedish
SKOLA is A Christian microschool that values innovative learning in a non-traditional classroom.
A microschool adopts many features from a “one-room schoolhouse” approach, and the tight-knit community becomes the centerpiece. Using project-based learning & place-based environments, students are able to grow within a context that is truly inspiring, and enjoy a school day that is innovative and reimagined.
