Microschools launch and close more easily than traditional schools—is that a feature or a bug? This week on Microschooling Journeys, Brian Hyosaka shares the story of Embark Micro Middle School in Denver, a tuition-free, philanthropy-backed micro school closing after six successful years. Rather than charge tuition or become a charter, they chose to “go out on top.” Embark’s legacy includes inspiring hundreds of educators. Folks, this is where we leave our limited podcast series. Microschooling Journeys has come to an end, if you listened, thank you, please give me a shout, I’d love your feedback. This is Curious Mike signing off!
