Expert teachers for small learning communities.
Whether you run a pod out of your home or a more formal microschool, Cicero provides subject specialists who fit into your program — not the other way around.
Build your school around the best teachers.
Microschools are built on the idea that smaller is better — fewer students, more attention, better relationships. We share that belief. Our teachers work with one student at a time, or in groups of two to four, which is the kind of focus traditional schools can't offer.
We work with your existing curriculum or help you build a subject program from scratch. Tell us what your pod needs — subjects, frequency, student ages — and we'll find the teacher and structure the engagement.
Subject specialists on demand
Bring in a teacher for the subjects your co-op can't cover — AP courses, math, writing, science. No need for a generalist who does it all.
One-to-one within the pod
Each student can have their own session with the same teacher, or different teachers for different subjects. Fully flexible.
Curriculum alignment
Our teachers work within your chosen curriculum, whether that's Charlotte Mason, classical, unit studies, or something you've built yourself.
Cicero gave our pod access to teachers we could never have hired on our own. Three students, one AP Chemistry specialist — it just works.

What is a microschool?
A small private learning setting — typically two to fifteen students — operating outside the traditional school system. Families often band together to share teaching resources and costs.
How does Cicero work with microschools?
We provide subject-specialist teachers on a scheduled basis, either one-to-one with individual students or in small groups. We fit your existing curriculum or help you build one.
Can one teacher work with several students in our pod?
Yes. A Cicero teacher can work with multiple students from the same microschool, in separate one-to-one sessions or small groups of two to four. Get in touch and we'll find the right arrangement.
Learning in another context?
We work with students wherever school happens.Tell us about your pod and we'll find the right teacher.
