A new kind of school is being started in living rooms, churches and storefronts — small, personal, and led by people who love kids. Almost none of them signed up to run payroll.
MicroSchool OS started with a simple observation: the people opening microschools are almost never administrators. They’re teachers, parents and community leaders who wanted something better for a handful of kids — and then found themselves buried in enrollment forms, tuition spreadsheets, payroll math and state filings.
The tools built for big districts are too heavy, too expensive and too impersonal. So most microschools end up stitching together a dozen apps, a shared inbox and a lot of late nights. Things fall through the cracks not because anyone is careless, but because no one person can hold all of it in their head.
We think that’s the wrong thing to ask of the people doing the most important work. So we’re building one calm system that quietly handles the operations — so the founder can go back to being an educator, not an accidental COO.
“The best schools shouldn’t need the biggest back offices. They should need the smallest ones.”
Every screen is designed for someone who’d rather be in the classroom. If a task takes more than a few minutes, we haven’t finished designing it.
No sprawl, no twelve tabs. The whole back office lives in one system that connects the dots so you don’t have to.
We build for tiny teams, not enterprise org charts. Powerful enough to run a real school, simple enough for one person to operate.
Plain language, fair pricing, and no surprises. Your data is yours, and you can take it with you at any time.
We're opening early access a handful of schools at a time. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out as spots open for the 2026–27 year.
