Empowering Educators, Parents, Caregivers, and Communities

Educators

Take your power back. You have had enough of top down systems that leave you out while you keep giving and giving to your amazing students. It is time for you to be in the driver's seat so you can do what is best for students.

Parents & Caregivers

You know your child best. You love your child deeply. You want the best for them. Reach out to us if you are interested in launching a microschool in your community. We have a pathway for you too.

Community Members

We deeply believe that our communities are full of amazing assets to support our children. If you are a community member who doesn't have a child but wants to do better, reach out. We have a pathway for you.

Your Commitments to Changemaker Education

We are committed to your success and provide extensive support and coaching to help you launch your microschool and to create long term sustainability. Unlike other organizations that charge up to $20,000 in upfront costs, we offer our program and planning-year support at no cost. Instead, your microschool pays a percentage of tuition as an affiliate. In return, we ask for the following commitments.

Founder Mentality

You have an entrepreneurial drive. You think like an owner and are fully committed to being a top-notch microschool operator.

Partnership

You understand that this is a relationship. You know that it is a give and take. You agree to certain things, and we agree to certain things. And we work through conflict, together.  

Growth and Excellence

You strive for continuous growth and excellence. You don't give up when things get hard. You work with purpose and can always find a solution.

Commitment to implement our Mind, Body, Soul (MBS) program for students and educators.
Excitement for being the first and understanding of the chaos that comes with this.
Commitment to communicate regularly and clearly in all situations.
You have an open mind and an open heart. Mistakes will happen, but it is how you handle them that matters.
You commit to our philosophy and values. There is not a right or wrong answer but you must be committed to uphold our values.
You are collaborative and team-oriented. You believe in Ubuntu: "I am what I am because of who we all are".  
Kids always come first. You don't let adult issues take up too much time.

David has been instrumental in my development as a school leader. He approaches his coaching with patience and curiosity, and always makes time to check in on my mental wellbeing. I've already experienced a change in how I show up and the impact I am having as a school leader because of my work with David!

I’ve explored everything from silent retreats to ice baths to John Maxwell leadership conferences as part of my personal growth journey. Nothing has brought me in touch with my own power like working with David. His programs are about finding your authentic self and developing the courage to lead from your truth.
