At Magnolia Concepts, learning feels joyful, gentle, and deeply personal. Opening our doors to our very first students in September 2026, we are thoughtfully building a learning environment rooted in connection, curiosity, and care. We believe childhood is a time for wonder, big questions, and meaningful relationships, and we intentionally create a space where children feel safe being themselves, growing with confidence, and discovering who they are. Each child is seen, known, and celebrated for who they are—not just for what they can do.​

Magnolia Concepts is a project-based microschool in Knoxville, Tennessee, created for families seeking something more nurturing and meaningful than traditional classrooms. Beginning in September 2026, our small, mixed-age learning communities will feel more like a close-knit family than a school. Children will learn side by side through hands-on projects, creative exploration, and time spent outdoors—building strong academic foundations while also developing empathy, collaboration, and a genuine love of learning.

​Magnolia Concepts blends the flexibility and heart of homeschooling with the consistency, guidance, and community of a thoughtfully designed learning environment. With caring adults, meaningful relationships, and space for curiosity to unfold, children are encouraged to explore their interests at their own pace and discover the joy of learning together. Here, learning is not rushed or rigid—it’s warm, intentional, and rooted in connection, creating a place where children don’t just learn, but truly belong and thrive.
