Local Partners
The Center partners with local organizations to cultivate a thriving microschooling ecosystem in your state.
Microschooling 101
Interested in hosting the Center for a microschooling 101 event? This is a great early microschooling event in your state. It brings together potential and current founders, families and interested community members to learn more.
Day Long Intensive Training
We frequently hold day-long intensive microschool trainings in different states with our local partners. These trainings start at a high level and narrow in focus as the day goes on. These trainings are meant for prospective, prelaunch and current microschool founders.
Speaking Arrangements
The Center is often asked to speak at conferences, expos and local organization meetings on a variety of microschooling topics.
Small Group Trainings
The Center holds small group trainings in-person and virtually. If your organization works with a group of microschools and would like to hold a small group training for your microschooling community we can provide a variety of trainings, including custom-built trainings for your organization.
