Huntsville, AL  ·  GigaParts  ·  Fridays 2–3pm  ·  September 2026 – April 2027  ·  Competition dates determined by the teams

Why families choose this

Smart teens want to be challenged by real stakes — not another worksheet. Parents want proof their teen can hold their own against the country's best. CyberPatriot delivers both.

Think you've got what it takes to defend a network? CyberPatriot is a national cybersecurity competition — and MARS is forming local squads. Students compete on teams at the middle and high school level, guided by former CyberPatriot competitors who are now cybersecurity industry professionals. You'll build real skills and put them to the test in live competition rounds. Tell your friends — the more students who join, the stronger Huntsville's presence in the competition. Learn more about the program at uscyberpatriot.org.

ChartKeepers: Classical Algebra
Virtual  ·  Mondays at 2 PM CST  ·  September 2026 – April 2027

Why families choose this

Students hit a wall in algebra because the foundations never stuck. Teachers and co-op parents don't have time to drill it for them. ChartKeepers solves both — together, weekly, with classical memory work that finally locks in.

Classical memory work for math — the kind that actually sticks. Students work through 12 carefully sequenced charts (A–L), internalizing the foundational structures of algebra through repetition, pattern, and mastery. Open to any student in pre-algebra or higher.

$250 per year — per microschool (any size)CHOOSE Act eligibleOr pay out of pocket

One flat annual rate covers your entire microschool cohort — no per-student billing, no semester renewals. MARS believes every microschool deserves access to rigorous classical math. Bring your cohort. Level up together.

MARS Microschool — full enrollment
U.S. Space & Rocket Center  ·  Huntsville, Alabama  ·  Only a few seats remain

Why families choose this

Traditional high school treats motivated teens like they're average. Homeschool gives freedom but rarely a real cohort or a college on-ramp. MARS gives your teen both — classical rigor, AI fluency, dual enrollment, and a community of peers who show up.

MARS is a University Microschool — a cutting-edge learning model that pairs the rigor of classical education with the tools of artificial intelligence. MARS students attend campus on Thursdays at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, and are encouraged to pursue Dual Enrollment at Calhoun Community College on Mondays and Wednesdays — bringing their active learning days to three per week while preserving two days for independent study at home.

This is the University Microschool Model: college-level exposure, classical foundations, AI-powered tools, and the independence to own your education. We are accepting motivated high schoolers now.
