MIDNIGHT SUN FAMILY LEARNING CENTER

Midnight Sun Family Learning Center is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District school district, located in Wasilla, AK with about 192 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 8 teachers, Midnight Sun Family Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 24:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Midnight Sun Family Learning Center, located in Wasilla, Alaska, is a unique educational option within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District. It functions as a hybrid or "correspondence-style" program that supports families who choose to homeschool their children. The center serves as a bridge between home-based instruction and the public school system, providing students with access to state-aligned curriculum, educational resources, and academic guidance while allowing parents to maintain primary control over the daily learning environment.

The program is designed to be highly flexible, catering to a diverse range of learning styles and family philosophies. By partnering with the Mat-Su School District, Midnight Sun offers its students access to extracurricular activities, specialized enrichment classes, and academic support services that might otherwise be difficult to facilitate in a strictly independent homeschool setting. It is an ideal environment for families seeking a customized educational path that balances the independence of homeschooling with the resources and community connection provided by a public institution.
