About Our School - Lil Red Riverton
We brought….
the Little Red Schoolhouse Back into our Communities…
Let's Take a Lil Red Tour!
Think Little Red School House...with a modern Twist.
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!
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!
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!
Welcome To Lil Red!
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!
Support Homeschool Awareness - Join our Community
It's why we're here and it's our passion!
We recognize that connection to each other and to our communities is the glue holding together our Lil Red vision. Your support is a key to our growth and we would love to have you join us in creating futures!
Watch Us Grow! Our goal is 1,000 Lil Red homeschool communities across the country by the year 2030 - a BIG goal, but we know we can do it! Join us and together, we will not only make it happen, but we'll also make it fun!
Here are our TOP three projects. We'd be forever grateful for your support!
We finally got Lil Red #3 released & we've got a new builder! Join us in reaching our goal to finish out our Lil Red Tiny School #3 and get her to the kiddos for the school year!
Help us to build more Lil Reds for our Homeschool Families and Communities. Our mission is to place 1,000 Lil Reds into homeschool communities across the nation.
Change a future. Award a Scholarship to one of our homeschool kiddos giving them unlimited access to Lil Red for just $1,000/year or $100/month. Or sponsor a student at any $ you wish.
It all starts by connecting with local homeschool families and deciding to give your kids the future you want them to experience!
Every homeschool co-op gets a website to start connecting right away to homeschool kids, families & the community!
If you want a physical Lil Red School House, you'll need to get on our list and get approved!
While you're waiting, you can start using all the feature of Lil Red & connect with homeschool families & the community.
Lil Red is a registered 501c non-profit and can help you start fundraising for your Lil Red School House!
Take advantage of our non-profit status school fundraising, especially important if you want a physical Lil Red School!
A mobile, tiny school for a modern world. Lil Red brings in the past, while stepping into the future.
We thought it was time to bring the Little Red Schoolhouse back into our communities and that's exactly what we did
Lil Red Riverton was the very first of what will hopefully become thousands of tiny schools in the country. We love the Lill Red mission to create connections among homeschool families and support them by eliminating one of their biggest challenges…where to meet! We're proud to be the first homeschool community hosting a Lil Red and we'd love to have you watch us grow!
Lil Red Wiggins invites you to join the Lil Red community and immerse you and your family in a collaborative and enriching educational and social environment, where your involvement directly enhances the experience for all. Our shared collaboration fosters a support system allowing homeschool families to have an experience that is so much more than going it alone.
Lil Red #3 has had a bit of a ride and we need your help! We've finally got her released and we've found a new builder. The original builder did not complete the inside (though they were paid!) and we're trying to raise $25,000 to get Lil Red finished and ready for the 2024/25 school year. Anything you can do to help would be very much appreciated. And, we do not yet have a home, so feel free to apply!

the Little Red Schoolhouse Back into our Community
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 magna-tiles, 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!

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:
Mikaela, Lil Red Mom
Riverton, Utah
“We love Lil Red! It’s been the perfect place to start our homeschool journey. We love coming to school every week. It’s been the best environment to learn in. Both my kids ask to go to Lil Red multiple times a week and it’s always hard to leave once we get there because it’s so accommodating to them!” -
Jenni, Lil Red Mom
Riverton, Utah
“We were lucky enough to find Lil Red right after moving into the neighborhood. It was such a blessing for my kids and I to meet other people and have an immediate group to be part of. My kids have loved the freedom to learn hands-on and then have time to free play with other children. When I decided to homeschool I knew I still wanted social experiences for them, and was so grateful for this in-between!”
RaShae, Lil Red Mom
Riverton, Utah
“One of the most exciting things for me has been the friendships that are made at Lil Red. I also feel like it has given me the confidence to feel like I could do homeschool in the future. I enjoy learning and collaborating with all the other parents as well. I think Lil Red is such an appealing place situated in a lovely neighborhood where everyone feels like they have a part.”
