Your Microschool.
Our Mission.
You don’t have to do it alone. At Changemaker Education, we help bold, heart-centered founders bring their vision to life—with tools, coaching, and a thriving network to guide the journey. We’re not building a franchise. We’re building a movement—one microschool, one changemaker, one community at a time.
Focus on What Matters Most
You became an educator to change lives—not to get buried in admin. We help simplify the startup journey so you can stay focused on kids, families, and building a transformational learning environment.
Personalized Guidance & Coaching
From day one, you’ll have access to experienced mentors and coaches who walk with you through launch decisions, licensing, enrollment, and operations—tailored to your specific goals and context.

We don’t leave you guessing. Get plug-and-play resources for everything from school policies to marketing materials, operational checklists, and safety plans—saving you hours of work.
Smarter Facility Strategies
Finding the right location and space is critical—and stressful. We connect you with experienced brokers while helping you think creatively to minimize risk and keep your microschool marketable, sustainable, and strong.
Empowering Educators, Parents, Caregivers, and Communities
Educators
Take your power back. You have had enough of top down systems that leave you out while you keep giving and giving to your amazing students. It is time for you to be in the driver's seat so you can do what is best for students.
Parents & Caregivers
You know your child best. You love your child deeply. You want the best for them. Reach out to us if you are interested in launching a microschool in your community. We have a pathway for you too.
Community Members
We deeply believe that our communities are full of amazing assets to support our children. If you are a community member who doesn't have a child but wants to do better, reach out. We have a pathway for you.
Your Commitments as a Changemaker Education Founder
We are deeply committed to your success as you launch your own microschool. To ensure you receive the personalized coaching, expert systems, and strategic guidance needed to thrive, we charge a one-time $5,000 founder fee during your planning year. Unlike other school startup programs that charge $15,000–$25,000, we keep this cost low to make launching a microschool more accessible. After launch, your school pays a small percentage of tuition revenue to remain part of the Changemaker affiliate network.
In return, we ask for these commitments from you as a microschool founder and education entrepreneur:
Local Visionary & Founder Mentality
You have the entrepreneurial spirit and drive to build something bold from the ground up. You think like an owner—resourceful, mission-driven, and accountable. You’re also deeply rooted in the community you wish to serve, and you're ready to activate those connections. You know that building trust locally is just as critical as designing an amazing learning experience. You’re not just launching a microschool—you’re igniting a movement where you live.
Belief in Partnership
You embrace your role as the driving force behind your microschool’s success. You understand that our team will guide, coach, and advise you like a personal board of directors—but it’s your job to execute. This is a true partnership: we provide the blueprint, support, and accountability, and you take consistent action to move your school forward. You honor the commitment by showing up, doing the work, and engaging openly—knowing that long-term trust and growth are built through follow-through.
You Live Our Values
You believe in supporting the whole human — not just academics. Our Mind, Body, Soul (MBS) program helps children build emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and resilience through practices like reflection, meditation, journaling, and open dialogue. You’re comfortable facilitating conversations about emotions, identity, inner life, and the human experience. You create space for exploration without prescribing beliefs— you're here to nurture independent thinkers and compassionate leaders.
Your Commitments to Excellence
Hear What Leaders Are Saying
We help you transform your leadership to make your dream come true
David has been instrumental in my development as a school leader. He approaches his coaching with patience and curiosity, and always makes time to check in on my mental wellbeing. I've already experienced a change in how I show up and the impact I am having as a school leader because of my work with David!
I’ve explored everything from silent retreats to ice baths to John Maxwell leadership conferences as part of my personal growth journey. Nothing has brought me in touch with my own power like working with David. His programs are about finding your authentic self and developing the courage to lead from your truth.
David cares deeply about the people he coaches and supports and has a natural ability as a teacher and motivator. He has an uncanny ability to lead from a place of love while being direct with the truth you need to hear.
