Our origin story
We started in 2004 as a coaching company for overwhelmed families.
Then we built the school we wished existed: a microschool, homeschool hub, community arts center and whole ecosystem for learners of all ages. Now we’re expanding nationwide – so more communities can have Space of Mind, and more franchisees can build businesses that matter.
Here what the students and parents are saying...
Why families choose SOM
