Amy Bottomley, Executive Director of MicroSociety Academy Charter School in Nashua, NH, oversees a K-8 school with over 300 students. With 25 years of experience as a business owner and educator, she emphasizes the need for a workforce that can adapt, innovate, and communicate effectively.
At MicroSociety, students as young as six learn real-world skills such as interviewing, writing resumes, understanding profit and loss, and knowing why taxes are paid. The school operates as a miniature society with a government, bank, courts, police, and entrepreneurs. Students apply for jobs, earn paychecks, and engage in practical learning daily.
Parents report that the program sparks meaningful conversations at home. The school's high attendance rates reflect its engaging approach. Community partners mentor students, offering insights from their professions. For example, an escape room owner helped students run a successful business.
MicroSociety students also learn civic engagement and fiscal responsibility. A second grader wrote to the Department of Public Works about a broken crosswalk light, leading to its repair. Kindergarteners learn the difference between wants and needs, applying these lessons in real-life situations.
Bottomley invites everyone to witness the students' enthusiasm and hands-on learning at MicroSociety, where the program makes a significant impact.
