MicroSociety is a program in which students from diverse backgrounds create a miniature society within the school. In addition to following a traditional academic curriculum, students develop the self-discipline, work habits and life skills needed to achieve success in the "real world" outside the classroom. MicroSociety is embedded into the curriculum on a daily basis. Students create and participate in various endeavors, including business ventures, governments, banks, judicial systems and more. By experiencing various social roles, students become responsible, contributing members of the MicroSociety. Students have a voice in establishing their society and learn about their responsibilities in a free society and the importance of giving back to their communities.
