Kerry McDonald welcomes Charles and Charissa Mitchell, two of the four co-founders of the Threefold Schoolhouse, an Acton Academy located outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They share their inspiring story of building a learner-driven microschool that launched with just 10 students in 2019 and today serves 65 learners from pre-kindergarten through high school.  The Mitchells talks about the entrepreneurial challenges they've faced—from zoning restrictions and temporary spaces to navigating outdated education regulations—while staying true to Acton Academy's philosophy that embraces curiosity, experimentation, and failure as essential parts of the learning process. They also discuss their vision for helping young people discover their calling and make a global impact, and why they believe we are living through an education revolution. ***   Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.
