Meet Sebastian Predescu,KaiPod Catalyst participant, and founder ofInner Fire Academy in San Francisco, California. Sebastian is an Eastern European immigrant, national chess champion, and teenage cancer survivor. Sebastian has a strong passion for education, as he studied at the coveted Harvard University, and sought to start his very own microschool with the help of KaiPod Catalyst. Inner Fire currently serves students in the San Francisco region, ages 7 to 12, who are seeking a more personalized approach to education.

As you consider the type of location you desire for your microschool program, you should develop a clear vision of your ideal student (and the kind of space that would best suit their needs), map out your ultimate space, and consider which fits your vision as closely as possible.
