Build A Lifetime Love Of Learning

Inner Fire is a micro-school for gifted 8-12 year olds. We take only 8 students per class and work with the learner to create customized lessons that keep each individual constantly challenged and excited. 

Our mission is to create an appropriately challenging environment that enables each individual learner to reach their full greatness.

OUR DIFFERENCE

4:1 ratio

With only 8 students per class and two teachers, we’re able to give each student direct attention and personalized instruction throughout the entire school day

Individualization

Instead of a one-size-fits-all curriculum that bores the brightest students and stresses others, we tailor work to each learner’s current level for just the right amount of challenge

Teacher Owned

We’re a 100% teacher-led company and we take ownership over every aspect of the experience. It also means we’re lean enough to run on tuition fees without additional fundraising

OUR Values

Curiosity

School can feel like a place to be told what to do and assessed, which kills students’ love of learning.

We focus on the intrinsic joy of building new skills, with your own personal progress as the standard.

Compassion

An environment of loving kindness for ourselves, our peers, our communities, and the world.

We teach appreciation for effort, accomplishment and failure alike, without judgment.

Challenge

We believe kids can achieve far more than the curriculum standards.

Our students are guided to continuously stretch their potential based on ability, not age or grade
