About Us:

Fivestar Learning Center is your individual microschool, a new kind of learning environment designed for students who deserve more than crowded classrooms and one-size-fits-all teaching. To ensure that our school receives the necessary funding for your child, we encourage parents to sign up for Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA). This funding covers the cost of attending Fivestar Learning Center. Our classroom is managed by one teacher and a teaching assistant who work together to ensure that every child receives personalized attention and understands their work.

At our microschool, we focus on one‑on‑one teaching in small, supportive environments for students in grades 7–12. A microschool is intentionally designed to be small, personalized, and flexible, giving every student the attention, pacing, and connection they need to truly thrive.

Instead of getting lost in the crowd, students are seen, heard, and taught in a way that fits them. That’s the heart of microschooling — and it’s the heart of what we do.

To ensure our school gets the correct funding for your child, we ask parents to sign up for an ESA fund, which helps cover enrollment costs. Please click the button below to be redirected to the Arizona ESA fund site, where you

My story

I have dedicated my career to education, fueled by a deep passion for teaching and ensuring that my students reach their full potential. To enhance my ability to inspire and guide young minds, I pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor's degree in Education, along with Associate's degrees in Art and Liberal Arts and Science. When the school I previously worked at closed its doors, I turned this challenge into an opportunity for growth and innovation. I established a school that prioritizes meeting children's unique needs, creating a nurturing environment where they can thrive.Shawna has been a proud resident of Lake Havasu since 1986.
