Microschool Founder Starter Checklist

Microschool Founder Starter Checklist
A calm, real-world guide for getting started without burnout

Starting a microschool can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re a teacher or parent who’s never run a business before.

This checklist was created to give you clarity, not pressure.

Inside, you’ll find a step-by-step, plain-language checklist covering what actually matters when launching a microschool, homeschool hybrid, or small learning program—without the hustle culture, giant budgets, or overbuilding that leads to burnout.

What’s included:

• Founder readiness and capacity checks
• Legal and compliance basics (explained simply)
• Program design and scheduling options
• Location and setup essentials
• Enrollment and family fit guidance
• Pricing models that support sustainability
• Operations without bureaucracy
• Marketing that feels honest and human
• A “Start This Week” action checklist

This is not a business plan.
It’s not a course.
It’s a grounded companion to help you move forward with confidence.

Best for:

• Burned-out teachers exploring microschooling
• Homeschool parents starting small programs
• First-time founders who want clarity before committing

Helpful next steps (optional):

• Pair this with the Microschool 101 Playbook for deeper guidance
• Join the Microschool Founder Grove Skool community for weekly Q&A and peer support
• Book a 1:1 clarity or planning session if you want personalized support

You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You just need a place to start.
