The short version
In New Hampshire, a microschool usually operates as a private school or a program serving homeschooling families. NH nonpublic schools must register/get State-Board approval (Ed 400): fire/health/zoning + instructional-hour minimums. New Hampshire has an ESA program (Education Freedom Account (EFA)), so nearly every family in your area can bring funded tuition. See the New Hampshire funding guide →

Questions founders ask
Do I have to use a specific curriculum?
No. MicroschoolLaunchKit is the compliance and operations layer — use whatever curriculum or model you want. We handle the paperwork around it, not the teaching.
What exactly is ESA / voucher approval?
Many states let families use public scholarship funds for private-school tuition. Getting approved as a provider/vendor is how that money reaches your school. We walk you through it, state by state.
Do you take a cut of my tuition?
Never. It is a flat subscription. Your tuition is 100% yours — unlike franchise networks that take a fee for every student.
Is this legal advice?
No. We give plain-language guidance and sourced requirements, not legal advice. For legal-sensitive decisions we point you to an education attorney.
