Our Campus
Student & Families
Sageland MicroSociety Elementary School is the only school in the El Paso area to provide a fully integrated MicroSociety curriculum that maximizes staff, faculty, student, parental, and community participation. Setting foot on our campus reveals a warm, caring, unconventional child-centered world unlike any you have ever experienced before. Beyond the traditional classroom setting, you will find an array of learning opportunities that are molded ethically, responsible, problem-solvers, empowered to meet the challenges of the new millennium!
In 1990, Sageland began its journey from a traditional school to a 2lst century learning organization. The journey began with the physical transformation of the building, which continues to this day. The following year began the ultimate challenge of internalizing the conviction that all children can and will learn. This led to the embracing of the Accelerated Schools philosophy. In 1992, Sageland received a grant for $192,00 to build a 3,500 square feet site to establish a schoolwide MicroSociety program.
This catapulted us to becoming entrepreneurs in the field of education where our journey's course was forever altered. Therefore, we are committed to providing innovative, powerful learning experiences to encourage our children into the new millennium.
Today, Sageland MicroSociety School is a nonconventional school-wide learning site where students and teachers, along with parents, community members, and school staff create learning experiences that reflect the American democratic free enterprise system. All students in Grades Prek-Grade 5 provide services, produces good gsCere and agency officers, make and enforce laws, and collect and distribute taxes. While running and operating businesses and governmental agencies, students pay rent and operate businesses by creating their own unique business plans. Micro Bucks are used to pay for attendance and various jobs. After paying taxes, rent, and operating costs, students take on the role of the main consumers in the MicroSociety marketplace on their days off.
