KaiPod Learning opens application for second Catalyst program
KaiPod Learning is a network of in-person learning centers and micro-schools that support students in alternative learning environments.
What is KaiPod Learning?
KaiPod Learning is a network of in-person learning centers and micro-schools that support students in alternative learning environments.
What is the Catalyst program?
KaiPod’s Catalyst program is an accelerator program that supports educators who want to build their own learning pods. The program is a 16-week accelerator where participants take micro-school concepts from idea to launch.
Why should we care?
This will be KaiPod’s second Catalyst cohort. Keeping the first cohort small allowed KaiPod’s team to identify the most important inflection points in the creation and launch of micro-schools. Particularly where scaled support operations increase quality and expedite time-to-launch. KaiPod intends to take these learnings and apply them to a significantly larger cohort this fall.
What is KaiPod’s 5-year vision and how will this program enable it?
KaiPod’s vision is to offer the largest network of micro-schools in the US. The Catalyst program finds and trains the best educator-entrepreneurs - the most critical component of a micro-school - to power this network.
