If you're looking to start a low-stress microschool or homeschooling business that lights you up, transforms the traditional way of doing school, and gives you the freedom and flexibility you want, — then the Start Up Plan Challenge is for you!
When I started planning my microschool and homeschool hybrid program in February 2023, I had no idea where to start either.
I tutored, offered literacy coaching, and sold teaching resources on TeachersPayTeachers but that is not the same as starting a microschool.
But I never stop dreaming. I did a whole lot of research and asked a ton of questions. About a month later, I picked my location and starting marketing without a website or social media yet.
BEFORE we officially open the doors, I enrolled 7 new learners. Now we're on Year 2 with almost a full class of 12 learners, hiring new teachers and making plans to open up a 2nd classroom.
If I can do this, you can too!
Create a VISION PLAN and your Dream Vision Board.
Because without a VISION, you will have nothing to guide your decisions, keep you motivated, and help you navigate through challenges.
Choose the best starting location whether it be locally or online.
Then, it's time to start planning what needs to be done to get your location ready for the first day of learning.
Oh boy… the legal stuff. Don't you worry. I'm going to break down the most important legal requirements you will want to consider when started a microschool or homeschooling business.
Design and create a unique brand to your microschool or homeschooling business.
Logos, fonts, colors, graphics and your STORY is what's going to make you stand out from the crowd.
