If you just joined and are quietly lurking, totally allowed… but I’d love to actually know who’s in here. Drop a comment with: • where you’re calling home from • are you dreaming, planning, or already running something • one thing that’s on your mind right now (school, kids, money, energy, all of it counts) No pressure, no perfect answers. This space works best when we use it together. If you’re brand new and want something to ground you, I’ve shared my Microschool 101 playbook in the Classroom. It’s a calm, realistic place to start. Also, quick reminder we’ve got our Microschool Q&A this (and every) Wednesday at 7pm EST. Come listen, ask questions, or just sit with your camera off. All welcome 🤍 I’ll jump in the comments with you. Enjoy this video of my daughter (8) arriving at the place she’s been so excited to go since we arrived in Portugal for our one month world school adventure. All you can eat sushi here!

I’m based out of Tampa Florida. I’m starting my first homeschool enrichment program AKA micro-school. I’ve secured my location and currently looking for my first 5 founding families. I’m nervous & excited and so happy to be apart of this space. Heather is great so I’m sure you all are also 😀🥰
