Peterson Learning Center

Peterson Learning Center

Peterson Learning Center is an accredited microschool serving learners in grades K–12 through campuses in Gallatin, TN, Hartsville, TN, and a fully supported online program. As a registered Category III Private School, we are able to assist families utilizing school vouchers while maintaining a flexible, personalized approach to education. Our model blends the best of homeschool and private school by providing access to licensed teachers who guide each learner through a customized academic experience, ensuring strong support, accountability, and measurable growth—all within a small teacher-to-learner ratio that allows for meaningful, individualized instruction. We intentionally welcome learners at all levels, from those needing support to close academic gaps to those ready for advanced challenges.

At Peterson Learning Center, we believe education should be hands-on, engaging, and built around real-life application—not memorization for tests. Families are a vital part of our learning model, and we intentionally create space for parents to be involved as much or as little as they choose. Whether partnering closely in projects or trusting our educators to lead the academic journey, each family becomes part of a collaborative team focused on learner success. With small group sizes and individualized attention, we create an environment where every learner is known, supported, and empowered to thrive.

    My kids have needed this. Our public school was just working for us, but I could not afford to leave my job to homeschool! They can not open up fast enough! Once you meet Mrs. Peterson, you will get excited also!

    The new microschool is AMAZING! We got to tour the property and my daughter wanted to stay that day. We registered that day.
