We are interested to hear about each person’s vision and experience, to help them determine whether our approach is indeed something they may want to pursue.

Step 2Plan.

If you are ready to explore bringing a self-directed education center to your community, Liberated Learners offers help with strategic planning.

Document your plan.

Use the LL planning doc to think through the major areas necessary to successfully run a center: vision, marketing, outreach, location, budget, timeline, operations, educational program, and more.

Get feedback.

Talk with Ken or Joel as you complete each section to get feedback based on our combined over 30 years of experience running self-directed education centers.

Starter Package: $1800

includes a planning document, up to 10 hours of consulting time, and a visit to North Star or Princeton Learning Cooperative (or another LL center, if possible), and two free years of Liberated Learners membership if your center joins the network. Our next cohort starts in October, 2024. See more details here.

Moving forward.

Teams can move ahead independently to open a center, discontinue with plans for opening a center, or apply to join Liberated Learners as a full member.
