It's a place where you do your online work, meet other people, and do many other things you do in a traditional school. It is different from a traditional school because there are usually only 10-12 kids in a location, instead of 20 or 30. There are usually 1-2 learning coaches that help us and encourage us while we’re doing our schoolwork. There are 25 KaiPods and KaiPod partners. I believe that Kaipod is amazing because it's very flexible, there usually is a small group of kids, and the Enrichments at KaiPod are so much fun! ![Annie Slater](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_1171.jpeg?width=45&name=IMG_1171.jpeg) [Annie Slater](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/author/annie-slater) [Read More](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/why-boris-loves-kaipod) ![teacher with student at microschool](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_6662.jpg) [kaipod catalyst,](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/tag/kaipod-catalyst) [education entrepreneurs,](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/tag/education-entrepreneurs) [innovative education,](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/tag/innovative-education) [teacher transition,](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/tag/teacher-transition) [community](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/tag/community) ### [Wanted: 4 Million Superheroes](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/waiting-for-superman) ## Waiting for Superman? ![Amar Kumar](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_1731.jpeg?width=45&name=IMG_1731.jpeg) [Amar Kumar](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/author/amar-kumar) [Read More](https://blog.kaipodlearning.com/waiting-for-superman) #### About - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three #### Services - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three #### News - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three Follow us on Facebook Follow us on LinkedIn Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram ![](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6089e52e0f6c4763deb601af/2b8d8e27-43a2-47f3-a5d3-318c31bc24cd/Logo_FullColor-Horizontal+copy.png%3Fformat=1500w) #### Links [Home](https://kaipodlearning.com) Copyright © 2022 KaiPod Learning
