Ten years ago, Meridian Learning hosted one of the first conversations among small schools that were just starting to call themselves microschools. In 2021, the focus shifted toward sustainability, as many early efforts struggled to make it past the five-year mark.

A decade later, the landscape has changed. There is more visibility, more funding, and with that, more complexity.

This gathering is a facilitated, virtual conversation for founders and educators who are shaping the microschool movement. Together, we will reflect on how the microschool movement has evolved, what has shifted, and what it means to move forward with intention.

Participants are invited to bring:

• an artifact that represents their work or experience in microschooling
• a big hope for the future of the movement

The structure will be simple and participatory, with space for shared conversation and, if needed, smaller group reflection.

As we begin a new year, many microschool leaders are reflecting on what’s working, what feels challenging, and the kind of support they want moving forward.

January Office Hours will focus on the start of the Montessori Microschool Mentorship and the real questions microschool leaders are carrying into 2026, including multi-age practice, curriculum design, assessment, and communicating learning to families. This session is especially relevant for microschool leaders who are already operating and seeking Montessori grounding, as well as those who are actively considering launching a microschool rooted in Montessori principles. We’ll explore what it actually means to prepare adults for multi-age practice, how Montessori training supports sustainable school growth, and how leaders can build thoughtfully without needing a full traditional setup from the start.

The session will include a guided conversation and time for participant questions. It’s designed to be informal, relational, and grounded in lived microschool experience. The conversation will be recorded and shared afterward.

A Zoom link will be shared with registered participants prior to the event. RSVP via email: join@meridian-learning.org
