Built From Real Microschool Experience
Seashore Microschool draws from more than 14 years of hands-on experience building and running a thriving microschool community.
The Seashore Story
Seashore Microschool is rooted in the experience of Seashore Academy, a joyful, hands-on, screen-free learning community founded by Marlene Dandler.
What began as a small homeschool community grew into a thriving educational organization — built on the belief that children learn best when they are known, engaged, and given the freedom to explore.
After more than a decade of building and refining the Seashore model, Marlene now shares the systems, lessons, and resources developed over that journey with aspiring microschool founders who want to build something meaningful in their own communities.

Founder, Seashore Academy & Seashore Microschool
Marlene founded Seashore Academy with a vision for joyful learning, educational freedom, and an environment where children can develop curiosity and confidence. Over more than 14 years, she built a school that families love — and now she's sharing what she's learned with founders who want to do the same.
Joy
Learning should feel good. We believe joyful education produces curious, confident, capable people.
Freedom
Educational freedom — for founders, families, and children — is at the heart of everything we do.
Community
The best microschools are built on real relationships. We help founders build communities that last.
