Online summit
Cultivate: The Homeschool Leaders Conference
For co-op and microschool leaders and teachers. An online summit where the people who run homeschool groups learn from each other.
Professional development without the plane ticket
Most events for people who run homeschool groups and microschools ask for travel money and several days away from home. A lot of leaders have neither.
Cultivate is built to fill that gap. Leaders and teachers can watch from home, on their own schedule, and bring practical ideas back to their group the same week.
Our goal is simple: raise the ability of everyone working in the homeschool space, one co-op, microschool and classroom at a time.
Who it’s for
Every talk is tagged by who it helps most, so you can go straight to what fits your role.
Co-op leaders
People running a homeschool co-op or group today: directors, board members and the volunteers who keep it going.
Microschool leaders
Founders and directors of microschools, and people who are thinking about starting one.
Homeschool teachers
Parents and instructors who teach classes inside a group and want better tools for it.
Future founders
Families who want to start a co-op and need to know where to begin.
