Market Square Education (formerly Northwest Liberty School) has spent a decade innovating, creating solutions, and responding to needs. And now, we are excited to extend our services to elementary students, parents, and school districts. We use our personal approach, years of experience, and success in virtual learning to provide clear pathways through these challenging times. Our team becomes your team.
What does school look like in the fall? We do! Online learning is predictable, effective, and comprehensive. We have successfully served thousands of students through virtual learning. Locally based in Washington, our team members are veteran teachers, principals, and superintendents who have years of experience in Washington State public education.
While Market Square Education (MSE) has a comprehensive menu of options for learning, students are our priority through individual attention and support. Tell us your need, and our job is to understand the circumstances, offer guidance, and use our resources and structure to calm minds and build plans.
Changing the educational landscape. Concerned about the best path forward for your child’s education this Fall? With all the uncertainty that exists in our COVID-19 world, many parents are struggling to know which way to turn. Constant changes in directives from health officials leave districts and schools to continuously shift plans for offering equitable options to a wide range of student and family needs. More and more, parents are taking the reins in their children’s education. For some, that will mean homeschooling. For others, it may be following along with the options offered by their local school. For still others, there is no obvious path as working parents struggle to work and actively participate in their child’s education.
Tuition-free, online public school. Market Square Education (MSE) has the flexibility afforded to private schools while partners with public education to provide free tuition to Washington State K-12 students. We offer families and students the option of participating in the state-funded program Alternative Learning Experience (ALE). With ALE, each student has a personalized learning plan, weekly contact with an MSE staff member, and approved online courses. Parents of ALE students have access to MSE staff for support and guidance.
Private pay, worldwide. Students anywhere in the world can enroll at Market Square Education. Private pay families will have access to the same curriculum, support, and guidance.
Curriculum. Our K-5 courses were built with the 21st-century student in mind. Core and elective courses integrate online and offline activities to support multiple learning styles and to ensure that students are able to show mastery of concepts down to the objective level. The engaging courses provide:
- Interactives that allow students to engage with newly learned content and receive immediate feedback
- Videos which are used to support understanding for new concepts
- Worksheets are included as another method of practicing each concept throughout the curriculum
Ease of Use. Learning is challenging, and when the students do not have a standard platform for their course, it is confusing. For ease of use for students and parents, all our curriculum lives within the leader in learning management systems (LMS). Our LMS provides easy access to all curriculum and progress reports for all students, making it easy for parents to know how their child is progressing.
