When we originally applied, we simply provided supplemental support services to homeschooling families. Now, we are growing into an education network that provides community, coaching, and curriculum nationwide.

I don’t think I’ve been in a room as supportive as the Yass Prize Semifinalist room in Miami.

we have to find academic experiences that represent neuro-divergent learners, kids who want to learn about gaming, who want to do stuff online, who dropped out of school.

The funding is not following children. We're trying to make better options for kids, for poor kids, middle class kids. Wealthy people have this choice, they opt out of their systems easily, why shouldn't all children have that choice?

going against the common core and focusing on what we know is important for kids really works, and having a network of people now that also agree was super huge.

We don’t want you to rinse, wash, repeat. We want you to build and sustain.

Not only because of the capital, but because of the knowledge that comes by communing with the diverse group of people as opposed to everybody that thinks the exact same way that you might think.

We believe very much that microschools should be bottoms up, they come from the community. They're founded by educators who know their community really well. And they want to design a learning environment for the kids in that community.

Great education is a vital link for students to become successful citizens.

It's actually mind blowing. I really see myself as an education entrepreneur, but this expanded me.

It has helped me raise the ceiling on what’s possible.
