THE HOW

How are we going to achieve our goals?

First, our task is to make the process simple. So we have streamlined the steps and will continue to evolve our SOP's until all the rigidity, bottlenecks and hurtles are as few and as easy to pass as possible.

There will of course be challenges to face along the way and we will develop mitigations as they come up. There is no dragon that a parent would not battle to defend their child.

As our numbers grow so to does our goals and actions.

Our final goal

This is not about making money.

It’s about choice—giving children the freedom to follow their curiosity and giving parents the freedom to choose a schedule that works for their family.

It’s about impact, not profit—every dollar goes back into creating more centres where they are needed most.

It’s about independence—we answer to parents and children, not shareholders or government regulators.

Our vision is to form a charity dedicated to advancing education in a new, natural direction.

Goal 1: Have all facilities free by 2035

Goal 2: To have paid back all CLC membership fees 2045

Simple Steps

1. Gather

Only once the right location has been found and agreed on, will money be required.

Stage 1 ($4,000)

4. Build

Build and equip the centre (~$300,000)

Stage 2 ($6,000)

5. Hire

5. Hire staff for the initial 50 members (~$500,000 per year). Once the CLC is open and ready to use.

Stage 3 - ($10,000)

6. Spread the word, attract more families.

Foreseen challenges and mitigations

Right now (October 2025), our team is small and our resources are limited.

To move forward, we’re launching the Community Organisation (CO) and having real conversations with parents across Australia.

At first, the CO will focus on finding families who:

1. Contribute monthly to keep the mission moving forward.

2. Are ready to join a Community Learning Centre (CLC) once enough other families (within 30 minutes’ drive) are gathered in the same area.

This will solve the immediate and ongoing funding challenge for the movement.

Challenges

Awareness

Many parents don’t know about Free Path.

Doubt

Will the centres even work?

Commitment

The membership can feel like a big step.

Finding Enough Families

Gathering 50 parents in one area may take time.

Staff Recruitment

Hard to find educators who share the philosophy.

Sustaining Momentum

Parents may feel discouraged if progress seems slow.

Mitigations

Awareness

We’ll focus on running SM campaigns and advertising, creating simple materials, and encourage word-of-mouth through parents.

Doubt

We are opening a site in QLD using funds from believers and investors to create the proof of concept.

Commitment

We’ll provide clear explanations of how the funds are used, emphasize transparency, and explore flexible options.

Finding Enough Families

Organise localised awareness projects by attending and hosting events in the areas CP members want a CLC location.

Staff Recruitment

Staff from new CLC’s will primarily be chosen from the pool of parents of the current students. Assistance in filing any post still vacant with those passionate about child-led learning. Initial guidance from philosophy mentors.

Sustaining Momentum

We celebrate small wins, share regular updates, and keep our community connected through events.
