Millions of families in the United States are seeking innovative learning pathways for their children. Microschools provide small group, in-person learning for K - 12th grade students. At KaiPod Learning, we believe in a future where every child loves the school they’re in, and we are dedicated to creating a world where every educator has the freedom, support, and resources to bring their dream school to life. Over the past few years, we have created the nation’s largest network of Microschools, and have helped 100+ educators pursue their passions, create the school of their dreams, and fulfill their career ambitions.

KaiPod Catalyst is looking for passionate educators who are seeking creativity and flexibility in the educational process, to teach students without the limitations of traditional school systems. We are looking for passionate individuals who have a vision for education and are ready to develop a learning environment that embodies your education philosophy.
