You are running both sides of the village inside one household — the parent and the school, the home and the classroom, the kitchen-table conversation and the curriculum. This page is for you.
Your reality
Whatever name fits — home-schooling, microschool, learning pod, co-op, online school, hybrid school, unschooling, forest school, worldschooling — the situation is the same.
You are responsible for the digital-citizenship piece of your child’s education and there is no IT department, no school counsellor, no health-and-safety officer down the corridor. The mandate to “do something about online safety” arrives at your kitchen table, and the only person who can act on it is you.
You are not improvising less than a school. You are improvising differently — with more autonomy and less infrastructure.
You're already running the school. We'd like to be your village.
The model we built for parents and the model we built for schools both belong to you. You can use them at the same time — because in your household they are the same model.
What you can use
The parent programs. Twelve-minute modules, written household plan, expert-volunteer review. Same as any other parent. Browse the catalogue →
The student curriculum. The Grade 10 Attention. Privacy. Power. arc and supporting materials we built for schools are available to you to run at home, in a co-op, or in a microschool. Run-of-show docs, speaker notes, student handouts, facilitator cheat sheets — everything a teacher would have. Adapt the pace, mix sessions across siblings of different ages, fold it into your existing curriculum. See For Schools for the curriculum detail.
Cyber clinics. Walk-in one-on-one with a local cybersecurity expert. Bring the actual question, leave with a concrete next step. Upcoming clinics →
C-YAC for your community
The Cyber Youth Advisory Council is how the programme scales past us — students aged 12–17 who train as digital protectors, run workshops for younger kids, and host parent nights.
C-YAC chapters can be set up at the co-op or microschool level — run inside your community at its own pace, with the curriculum and volunteer support we provide. If your home-schooling group has students who want to be more than passive recipients of digital-safety messaging — who want to teach the year below them and inform the adults around them — that is the engine.
See the C-YAC page for what membership looks like and how to start a chapter.
For co-ops, microschools, and pods
If you are part of a co-op, microschool, learning pod, or online-school community that pulls families together for shared instruction, the school-side offer scales to your group size. We have run the curriculum in rooms as small as eight students and as large as eighty. The pedagogy is built for small groups — discovery before labels, paper and sticky notes, students leading and adults guiding. The smaller the room, the better it works.
If a few families want to club together to run the parent workshop, we will come to one kitchen and run it for all of you. The room is where you say it is.
Where to start
If a specific concern brought you here, the right starting point depends on the question:
- “How much time my kid spends on a screen is the central question of our days.” Start with The Engagement & Attention Industry.
- “My child uses ChatGPT or similar for nearly every assignment.” Start with Generative AI — what is shared, with whom, and how to limit it.
- “We’re a co-op and want a workshop for our families.” Email us — we will scope a session for your group.
- “I just want a place to begin.” Start with Foundational. Twenty minutes.
[email protected] — one sentence about your situation and we will point you at the right module or the right conversation.
Where you fit
You’re already inside the village in motion. Your household is the village at its smallest — the same loop, in microcosm. That’s why your students grow into the volunteer experts who teach the next generation of home-schooling families.
Get in touch
Tell us roughly: how many kids, what ages, what shape (single family, co-op, microschool, online school, pod), and whether the question of the week is a workshop, a curriculum drop-in, a parent-night, or a clinic conversation. We respond personally inside a few days.
