Creating Community Through Events: How to Plan Meaningful Microschool Gatherings That Grow Connection & Enrollment

As a microschool or homeschool hybrid leader, you’re not just teaching—you’re building a movement. And one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools in your toolkit? Events. Whether you’re welcoming new families, showcasing student work, or gathering around a holiday tradition, events bring your school to life.

In this episode of the Teacher Let Your Light Shine Podcast, we’re diving deep into how to create and host meaningful events that build connection, strengthen your school culture, and yes—help with marketing and enrollment. If you've ever wondered how to get more families involved, grow word-of-mouth referrals, or create standout experiences without feeling overwhelmed, this episode is packed with practical inspiration.

You’ll discover:

  • Why events are essential for microschool growth and retention

  • A season-by-season guide to easy, engaging event ideas

  • How to connect events to your curriculum and values

  • Ways to turn small gatherings into big enrollment opportunities

  • Tips for organizing events without burning out (hello, parent teams!)

  • The connection between events and visibility in your local community

    Whether you're just launching your microschool or preparing for Year 5, the events you host can set the tone for the year and create legacy moments that families will never forget.
