Educate. Innovate. Liberate.
EDUCATION UNLEASHED
EIA is a nonprofit resource association dedicated to fostering the growth, well-being, and advancement of the microschooling movement, helping it reach its full potential.
We exist to provide microschoolers with the support, resources and opportunities they need to grow their platforms, reach their students and thrive in an educational landscape that doesn’t cater to their specific needs.
We envision a future where individual educators have the tools and resources they need to develop their educational ideology in an environment free from legislative overreach and outdated frameworks that serve neither the educator nor the student.
We believe education should be ignited and supported, not hampered by beurocratic restraints.
