About Curious Innovators

A microschool that believes childhood is short.

Curious Innovators is a K through 8th microschool in Palm Beach, founded by Cristina Bedgood on a simple idea: kids learn best when school is small, curiosity leads, and there is still time left over to be a kid. It runs as a full school year-round, and the Winter Snowbird Academy makes it the only school in the country built to welcome families for the season too.

Leave the cold. Keep them learning. Make the winter count.
