Why Guide School?

Standard K-12 classrooms require heavy infrastructure and a large staff.

But in places where that's not viable, we help you stand up your own microschool with guides instead of teachers—proof that you don't need the full institutional system to unlock genius.

Affordable

A fraction of the cost of standard schooling

Accelerated

Curated AI learning apps to promote mastery

Flexible

Launch in a home, church, co-op, or district

Who this is for

Our partners look something like this

We supply tools that plug into a variety of microschool flavors. Most of our partners resemble one of these varieties:

This timeline of a Full-Day Model begins with a Launch at 8:30am, Core Skills for the morning, Projects for the afternoon, and a Close at 3:30pm
This timeline of a Half-Day Model begins with a 15-minute Launch, then 2 hours for Core Skills, then 30 minutes of fun as a reward for Core Skills progress, and then a 15-minute close
