What's a micro-school or a teaching pod, you ask?

It's a private school that hearkens back to the one-room schoolhouse and incorporates these elements:

Micro schools have no more than 150 students, but are often smaller—from around 10 to a few dozen students

Teaching pods are typically smaller in size

Multiple ages learn together in a single classroom;

Teachers act more as guides than lecturers

In teaching pods, parents may share instructional responsibility along with a paid teacher or tutor

There's a heavy emphasis on digital and project-based learning

Education is highly personalized.  (Source)
