The Center's Measuring Impact Design Lab

Coming 2026

Design the impact. Validate the evidence. Tell the story on your terms.

The Measuring Impact Design Lab flips the script on how microschools measure success. Founders will be able to submit real impact challenges and, if selected, work side by side with experienced researchers who roll up their sleeves to build measurement frameworks that make sense for small, innovative microschools of various models, ensuring validity, helping founders understand their data and sharing best practices for communicating results to key stakeholders. Inside the Lab, you’ll find real measuring impact tools, honest case studies from microschools that have gone through the process and proof points shaped in the real world.
