Check out the 5 minute film: https://youtu.be/Sf2MshakewY?si=PvcKc-6Y8-BUdm_5https://lnkd.in/gXiA7zxEFor me, it began with more than 25 years inside education and a growing conviction that the people closest to children should have far more power to shape how schools work.And, because school needs to be a place where children are loved, seen, heard, and valued.The best educators absolutely know this and create this environment IN SPITE of the mandates, red tape, and obstacles.We are building a network where the HEART is at the center with our Mind, Body, Soul curriculum.We envision a future where each and every child has clarity around their soul's purpose, understands how to manage their mind and their emotions, and knows their body is their temple.This is mostly absent in today's schools. We are building the CrossFit style affiliate network that will change that. With a vision to reach 100 in 3 years and 1000 in 5+, we will be the proof points across the world that shows where the future of education needs to be.Today, that conviction has become even more urgent.AI will reshape how our children learn, work, create, and contribute. Preparing them for that world requires more than introducing new technology into an old model of school.We have to rethink the model itself and change the operating system which is precisely what microschools do.AI can help students build strong academic foundations through learning that is more personalized, responsive, and appropriately paced.But the future belongs to young people who can do what technology cannot: think critically, create, communicate, collaborate, lead, adapt, form meaningful relationships, and understand themselves.Our Founders create small, deeply personal schools where students engage in real-world projects, meaningful conversations, creativity, movement, and increasing ownership of their education.Every microschool is locally led and distinctly its own. And, our network is united by a shared commitment to love, autonomy, community, creativity, and equity.These brilliant educators have powerful visions, but vision alone does not build a sustainable school.Founders need a proven path, experienced coaching, practical operating infrastructure, a strong educational framework, and a community of people building alongside them.That is why Joy Meserve and I created Changemaker Education.Our new 5 minute film tells the story of how we came together, what makes Changemaker different, and why we believe microschools can help children flourish.I’m proud to share it with you today.Thank you to everyone who has invested, encouraged us, introduced us to others, or followed our progress.You are helping us build the infrastructure behind a new generation of locally led, heart centered microschools.Please watch our story, share it with someone, and consider joining us as an investor.
