Education Reimagined
A Microschool for Outside-the-Box Thinkers, Doers and Dreamers in Middle & High School in the Raleigh Durham Triangle
What Is Wonder?
Wonder is a hybrid microschool in Apex, NC serving middle and high school students in the Raleigh Durham Triangle who are outside-the-box thinkers, dreamers, and doers. We combine deep academics, small group connection, and real-world exploration to help every student discover who they are and what they care about — not just what they can memorize.
If your learner is deeply thoughtful, wildly imaginative, purposefully hands-on, or just hasn’t felt at home in traditional school, Wonder offers something different — and deeply meaningful.
What Makes Wonder Different
Small groups. Big thinking. Our hybrid model combines the best of project-based learning, academic challenge, and community connection in the Raleigh-Durham Triangle.
Curiousity Comes first
We offer rich, accelerated, interdisciplinary classes in science, humanities, math, and the arts—shaped around real-world questions, not the kind found on standardized tests.
Real World Learning
Through field experiences, hands-on labs, and long-term pasion projects, students connect learning to life.
Creative Expression
Whether it’s music, fashion, foreign language, theater, or writing—students bring their own passions into their learning at our studio space in Apex, NC.
STudent Agency
Learners have voice and choice in what and how they learn. We help them build the habits, confidence, and skills they’ll need in college, life, and beyond.
Small by Design
Our small classsize (of no more than 8) and tight-knit community allows for meaningful relationships, daily connection, and individualized support.
Mentorship & Meaning
Students grow with the guidance of dedicated educators and mentors who encourage both academic excellence and self-discovery.
Who We Serve
Wonder is for middle and high school learners (grades 6–12) who are:
-
Gifted, curious, and deeply thoughtful
-
Creators, tinkerers, writers, or inventors who may struggle with anxiety, executive function, or output speed and volume
-
Ready for more flexibility and meaning in their education
-
Seeking community, not just classrooms
-
Homeschooled, hybrid, or exploring alternatives to traditional school
Wonder is not a good fit for students who:
-
Need strict behavior-management systems
-
Require constant external rewards or consequences
-
Thrive in fast-paced, competitive, test-driven environment
-
Are looking for a traditional classroom with desks and worksheets
-
Are unwilling or unable to engage respectfully with peers and adults
Whether you're homeschooling part-time or looking for a full-time alternative to conventional schooling, Wonder offers a flexible, welcoming, and rigorous environment for growing minds.
Wonder begins with a conversation.
There’s no better way to feel the heart of our community than to talk with our founder about your child, your “why,” and what you’re hoping for this season.
Some families come to Wonder because school has become hard.
Others come because they’re proactively seeking a learning environment that values curiosity, creativity, and deep thinking.
Wherever you’re starting from, we begin the same way — by listening.
This conversation is a chance to:
-
Ask questions
-
Share what matters most to you
-
Get a feel for how Wonder works
-
Explore whether our community might be a good fit for your family
There’s no pressure to decide anything right away.
If you’re curious whether Wonder might be a fit for your family, we’d love to start that conversation.
Wonder is honored to be recognized through the following memberships, associations, and awards.
