The Melody of Microschools

A Conversation with Kunal Dalal

What happens when you shrink the classroom but expand the possibilities? In this episode of The Detour Degree, we’re diving into the world of microschools—small, flexible, learner-centered spaces that are flipping the script on traditional education. Let’s explore how big change often starts small.
