This course is designed for micro-school founders, homeschool co-op leaders, and educational program coordinators who want to build sustainable, well-organized programs that serve families with excellence. You will explore core leadership competencies, scalable organizational frameworks, and the ethical responsibilities that come with guiding a learning community.
