Welcome to LiberatED!

More parents are seeking education options for their children beyond an assigned district school and more entrepreneurial educators are rising to meet that demand by launching microschools, learning pods, hybrid homeschools, low-cost private schools, and other innovative K-12 learning models.

I started the LiberatED podcast and weekly email newsletter to explore the diversity and abundance of free-market education solutions and to spotlight the everyday entrepreneurs who are creating them.
