Build a Microschool
That Actually Delivers
on the Promise
Healthy culture. Sustainable enrollment. Clear growth.
Self-Directed Success helps microschool founders stop reinventing everything from scratch — and start building schools that are healthy, credible, and built to last.
If you're building a microschool, you've probably felt this tension...
You know students are growing — but struggle to explain it clearly.
You want restorative, relationship-based culture — without chaos.
You didn’t start a school to become a marketer, admissions officer, and crisis manager.
You know you are making an impact on students, you just need a way to show it to others.
SDS exists to remove that friction.
What Changes When SDS Systems are in Place
Culture stops being personality dependent
Enrollment stops living in your inbox
Student Growth stops sounding vague
You stop carrying the entire school on your nervous system

Why Self-Directed Success (SDS) Exists
After 9 years of leading a microschool and working with founders, one truth kept surfacing:
Schools are doing meaningful work — but don’t have systems that support that work.
SDS exists to help microschools:
Build calm, consistent culture
Make growth visible without grades
Reduce founder burnout
Operate with clarity instead of constant improvisation
This work is built from real microschool practice — not theory, trends, or tech for tech’s sake.
