À propos de ce contenu audio

Hybrid schools are private programs that function as part-time school/homeschool partnerships. They usually look just like private schools...but kids only attend 2 or 3 days a week.

The model is wildly popular with those who have tried it. The best of homeschool and the best of private school...what's not to love?

A single program can serve hundreds of kids and provide dozens of jobs. All it takes to start a new program is an entrepreneur with some grit and a vision.

If you are considering starting an alternative school such as a hybrid or microschool, have a passion for a particular pedagogy such as Classical, Mason, Montessori, Waldorf, etc..., or are looking to create free markets options for your community, you will find advice and resources to equip you to launch and grow a hybrid program.

You don't have to be a business pro to start a successful business. Everyday entrepreneurs can build programs, one at a time, that will change the landscape of education.
