Inspiring Curious Minds
Inspiring Curious Minds is a heart-centered, hybrid microschool in Clermont, Florida serving elementary-aged learners. Designed as a flexible, family-centered alternative to traditional education, our program blends hands-on, project-based learning with a calm, supportive, small-group environment where each child’s strengths, interests, and pace are honored.
Rooted in a thoughtful mix of Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia philosophies, our approach emphasizes curiosity, creativity, and real-world learning. Students engage in meaningful academic work alongside hands-on projects, nature exploration, and collaborative experiences that foster both confidence and a genuine love of learning.
Located on a peaceful property near a private lake, our days naturally balance indoor focus with outdoor discovery. With flexible scheduling options, low student-to-teacher ratios, and a close-knit community of like-minded families, Inspiring Curious Minds offers a grounded, joyful learning environment, one where children feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow.

Ashleigh is a caring and devoted tutor that will go the extra mile for your child!

We’ve had a wonderful time with Ashleigh. She’s been so thoughtful and informative with my eldest, I can’t wait for my other children to start their time here. The small class size, consistent outdoor and social time, and knowing my child is being enriched with a curriculum I’ve chosen but explained by a certified teacher is the best of both worlds. I really can’t say more positive things about ICM!

Our experience with Inspiring Curious Minds Microschool has been nothing short of incredible. Mrs. Ashleigh is truly an absolute gem. There is nobody I would trust more on this homeschool journey with my family and my precious kids than her.
She is deeply dedicated to each of her students and goes above and beyond to customize their learning journeys—because she truly understands that no two children are the same. Her patience, kindness, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. What really sets her apart is that her love and support for her students doesn’t stop when the school day ends.
She creates such meaningful experiences, from amazing educational (and fun!) field trips to organizing kid-led markets that both the children and families absolutely love being part of.
I genuinely can’t imagine homeschooling without Mrs. Ashleigh and Inspiring Curious Minds. We are so grateful to be part of this community!

Inspiring Curious Minds has been such a wonderful experience for our family. The environment is engaging, supportive, and truly fosters a love of learning. We absolutely love Mrs. Ashleigh (and Coach Rod)—their care, patience, and passion make all the difference. We’ve seen so much growth and confidence in our child this past year, both academically and socially. We’re so grateful to be part of this wonderful community!
