Microschool 101 A Calm, Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Your Own Microschool (Even If You’re Still Teaching Full-Time)
A gentle, practical playbook for burned-out teachers and parents who feel called to start a microschool but don’t want to hustle, overbuild, or burn out.
You don’t need an MBA.
You don’t need a big budget.
And you definitely don’t need to become a “business bro” to start a microschool.
Microschool 101 is a calm, affirming, step-by-step playbook designed for public school teachers who feel the pull toward something different, but are still working full-time, exhausted, and unsure where to begin.
This is not a course.
This is not a hype-filled launch plan.
This is a grounded guide you can return to again and again.
This playbook is for you if:
✔ You’re a teacher who loves kids but feels broken by the system
✔ You’re curious about microschools, homeschool hybrids, or small learning pods
✔ You’ve never run a business and don’t want to “fake it”
✔ You want clarity without overwhelm
✔ You want to build something human, sustainable, and aligned
What’s Inside
✔ A clear, simple explanation of what a microschool actually is (and isn’t)
✔ How to start small (4–8 students) without quitting your job
✔ Legal + logistics explained at a high level (without panic or pressure)
✔ Tuition, pricing, and money conversations — without shame
✔ A realistic 90-day action plan you can follow alongside teaching
✔ Reflection prompts and check-ins rooted in SEL and IFS-informed thinking
✔ Boundary-setting guidance so you don’t recreate burnout
✔ A readiness checklist to help you decide your next step with confidence
This guide is trauma-aware, nervous-system friendly, and written with deep respect for educators who have been carrying too much for too long.
This playbook will not tell you what you should do.
It will help you listen more clearly to what feels aligned for you.
You are allowed to go slowly.
You are allowed to start small.
You are allowed to build something that actually works for your life.
