IMC - Microschool Founders

The
Indiana Microschool Collaborative (IMC)is growing — and we’re looking for passionate educators, community builders, and innovators to
launch and lead new microschools
across Indiana.

IMC is a statewide
public charter school network
designed to create schools every child loves. We believe learning should be joyful, connected, and deeply personal—where every student is known, supported, and celebrated.

As a
Microschool Founder
, you’ll design and operate a small learning community—typically 40–120 students that brings IMC’s four promises of joy, connection, growth, and success to life.

Founders receive extensive support from IMC, including help with facilities, staffing, curriculum, compliance, and operations. During the planning year, founders participate in a design fellowship and work alongside peers to prepare for launch.

• Lead the design and launch of a new IMC microschool site
• Build a joyful, inclusive culture where students thrive
• Recruit and develop a small, high-performing team of educators
• Partner with families and community organizations
• Implement competency-based learning and badge-based progress systems
• Manage daily operations, scheduling, budgeting, and engagement

Full-time position with
competitive salary and benefits
aligned with school leadership roles, plus a
planning-year stipend, startup support, coaching, and access to IMC’s shared operational systems.

Applications are now open
for founders launching in Fall 2026 (and planning for Fall 2027).

If you’ve ever dreamed of designing a school where every child feels like it was built just for them — this is your chance.
