Think Little Red School House...with a modern Twist.

What is Lil Red?

Lil Red is a tiny school, providing needed physical space + social connection to home school communities. Each Lil Red is placed in your neighborhood, integrated into your community, and conveniently located to family co-op members. It's like bringing the “little red country school house” of the old days back into the neighborhood, but with a modern twist!

What makes the Lil Red community special?

Integrated into the community, Lil Red is more than just a school building. We start by helping families take that first step back to simpler times and then we continue supporting them by building and fostering a community around Lil Red - just like in the old days, when the school house was a centerpiece in the neighborhood. We support collaboration and creativity, provide a school identity and give students a sense of pride and belonging. In addition to normal homeschool activities on a daily basis, Lil Red is also utilized within the homeschool community for regular get-togethers, group activities, celebrations and events supporting the entire homeschool community!

Why Do We Support Homeschool Families?

Our passion is connecting families and communities as we build our Lil Red network of schools. We encourage the sharing of resources, ideas and experiences. We aspire to awake that spark of creativity, to recognize the unique talents of each student - and each parent - and to inspire and encourage one another along the way. It's all about coming together for the kids and creating the best possible environment for each child's success.  And, we simply want to making learning fun again!

It Is All About

Our Kids, Family & Community



Our passion is connecting Lil Red kids, families and communities through our Lil Red network of schools, students, parents, mentors and community volunteers. 


This triangle of connection - Kids, Family & Community - forms the bricks of the Lil Red Foundation.

A Day in Lil Red Riverton!

We brought….

 the Little Red Schoolhouse Back into our Community

Lil Red Riverton is the first of what will hopefully become thousands of tiny schools in the country. 

The mission of lilred.org, the non-profit that provides the schoolhouse, is to create connections among homeschool families and support 

them by eliminating one of their biggest challenges…where to meet!


If you were to take a peek into the windows of Lil Red Riverton on any given day, you might see the host family’s kiddos hard at work with their mom. 

One up in the library doing some silent reading while the toddler not-so-silently plays with his magnatiles, another kid in the other loft with headphones

 on completing his LiftEd lesson for the day, and another kid down in the classroom with mom, using the giant whiteboard to work on 

spelling words or division problems. Mom can’t do a whole lot of multi-tasking when she’s out in Lil Red since there’s no laundry to fold 

or dishes to unload—it’s strictly schooltime, and everyone knows it.


Later in the afternoon you might find the Lil Red Ladybugs preschool group learning about flowers from the neighbor two doors down, 

or perhaps you’d see the LiftEd crew gathering to celebrate the end of their anatomy unit and creating a life-sized replica of the human body out of 

cardboard, strings, and balloons. Another group gathers to celebrate holidays, learning all about the origin of St. Patrick’s Day or organizing a 

fun Easter egg hunt. It’s not at all uncommon for Lil Red to host community volunteers to come teach the students about their areas of expertise, 

including military personnel, local business owners, or guests from different countries!


After school is done for the day, Lil Red often becomes the homework station for kids in the neighborhood, or, if the homework is finished, 

they might pull out the bean bag chairs and settle in for a movie night. It’s also a great quiet place for mom to sneak out to catch her 

breath for the next day’s work (iykyk)!


Each family participating in a Lil Red co-op is encouraged to make a monthly donation and help with fundraising efforts. 

Lil Red Riverton is currently fundraising for the 2023–24 school year. Lil Red students will be participating in the Children’s Entrepreneur Market in 

Riverton on August 4th, and the families will be hosting an outdoor movie night and silent auction fundraiser on August 12th. 

We hope to see the mission of Lil Red spread across the country! 


If you would like more information on joining or forming a Lil Red co-op, please visit lilred.org. 

You can also follow Lil Red Riverton on Instagram @lilredriverton. Meet Lil Red Riverton!

if you would like to make a donation, you can do so below.  All donations go directly to the Lil Red Riverton kiddos!

It's been an amazing start on our journey for Lil Red Riverton! 

Between all these different groups, Lil Red Riverton currently serves over 50 students and their families. 

Here’s what some of them had to say about their experience with Lil Red:


Thank you for your support!

We believe that empowering children and families is an investment in our collective future.

Each day, as we welcome new members into our Lil Red community, we take one more step together towards creating an alternative to our current education system and to building the future we want for our children. 

As we expand across the country, we will share our progress and adventures with you every step of the way. Thank you again for walking with us, and for doing your part to put a Lil Red in every community!
