  • Indiana Microschool Collaborative: Founder Application

  • Our Vision
    We believe every Hoosier student deserves to attend a school that feels like it was designed just for them—because it was.

    The Indiana Microschool Collaborative (IMC) partners with founders to launch small, joyful learning communities grounded in real relationships and personalized learning. Together, we’re building a future where every learner is deeply known, supported, and successful.

    This application helps us get to know you—your story, your vision, and the community you hope to serve.


    How the Process Works
    Launching a microschool is both exciting and challenging. We want to make sure you have the right support from the very beginning.  We use a three-round process to get to know you and your vision step by step. Each round builds on the last, and our team will guide you through every stage.

    • ➡️ Round 1: Getting to Know You
      A short introduction to your background, your “why,” and the community you hope to serve.

    • ➡️ Round 2: Deep Dive into Design
      If invited to continue, you’ll complete a more detailed application exploring your learning model, facilities, and support needs.

    • ➡️ Round 3: Partnership Conversation
      A conversation with IMC’s leadership team to explore your readiness, alignment to our mission, and potential next steps for partnership.
