Iron Village Preparatory Academy is a microschool and academic enrichment provider. Iron Village Prep is dedicated to fostering academic empowerment, cultural celebration and community engagement for K-8 students. As you look to find a microschool in Richmond that meets your family’s needs, we encourage you to reach out to us!

Iron Village Prep is built on three core pillars: academic empowerment, cultural celebration, and community engagement. Our mixed-grade classrooms include our Innovators (K-4) and Trailblazers (5-8). Our approach is student-led and project-driven, giving kids the freedom to explore their interests in meaningful ways. Fridays are set aside for independent and project-based learning, allowing students to dive into passion projects and apply their knowledge to real-world challenges. We encourage collaboration, mentorship, and a deeper understanding of concepts that integrate the Virginia Standards of Learning to ensure a seamless transition into high school.

What sets Iron Village Prep apart is our commitment to democratizing cultural learning. Students explore Mandarin, Spanish, and Sign Language, take part in book clubs featuring diverse perspectives, and engage in hands-on, interdisciplinary projects that bring learning to life. Our small, close-knit community fosters confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of global citizenship, helping students recognize their own brilliance while building meaningful connections with the world around them.
