The Reality of Running a Microschool
You're Doing Everything
Teaching, operations, marketing, enrollment, family communication, compliance, and funding paperwork. The list is endless.
You started your microschool to foster student growth and build a supportive community. But the daily administrative burden can be overwhelming.
Late-night spreadsheets, confusing funding requirements, endless onboarding—it's a lot to manage, often alone. The isolation is real, and it detracts from your passion: focusing on students. You didn't sign up to be a full-time operations manager, but that's the reality for many founders.
