The Heights Elementary School in Texarkana, Arkansas is one of the two schools in Arkansas that embraces the MicroSociety model

MicroSociety is a national educational model that provides compelling real life learning opportunities for K-8 students through the creation and the operation of miniature societies.

These societies, held during part of the school day, enhance academic lessons and provide platforms for young people to develop into leaders, entrepreneurs, creative forces and confident citizens. They also generate intrinsic motivation to do well academically because students understand school is key to their success.
