Want to start a microschool by September?
KaiPod Learning was founded with a mission to improve education for more students around the country. We started by opening learning pods, which are innovative and intimate learning environments that personalize education for each child.
Amar Kumar, founder of KaiPod Learning (www.kaipodlearning.com), recently introduced a new program called KaiPod Catalyst which helps entrepreneurial parents and educators to launch a microschool in their local community. One of the entrepreneurial parents who has teamed up with KaiPod is Ben Ashfield, who was on the podcast in September talking about his New Jersey microschool, The Village Electric (www.thevillageelectric.com).
In this episode, Ben updates us on his microschool while Amar shares more about KaiPod Catalyst and how it can help aspiring education entrepreneurs to launch a microschool this year!
