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.

The Yass Prize has empowered our youth, families and community by bringing great visibility to our efforts.

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.

And through that, we were able to open up our second campus in the city of Wichita.

The Yass experience has given us “permission” to do exactly that.

from all different demographics, all different states, all different service provider types that you can learn from.

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

The Yass Prize is almost like Burning Man for education reform.

and I couldn't be more grateful for what it's done for us, and helping us serve more students and families.

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