Your microschool teaches beautifully. On paper, it barely exists.

Most microschools are unaccredited (a National Microschooling Center sector analysis put state accreditation at 22%) and many are invisible to state records systems entirely. The teaching is real; the paper trail isn’t. So the day a family asks for a transcript, for a college application, a transfer, a scholarship, the operator improvises: a homemade letterhead, a parent-issued transcript, a portfolio assembled from photos. The kids deserve better paper, and the operator shouldn’t have to become a registrar to produce it.

The structural fix: the family issues, you witness

On Eformogi the record belongs to the family: they capture coursework, projects, and work samples as they happen, and issue their own sealed, verifiable transcript. Your role is the one only you can play: the witness. A named educator’s co-signature on a course or work sample turns a self-attested claim into an attested one: I taught this student, and this happened. A college, employer, or scholarship program verifies the sealed record directly at a public link, with no account and no phone call to you.

What you never have to do: run student information systems, store families’ records, answer transcript requests years after a student left, or exist forever. A microschool that closes takes its filing cabinet with it. A family-owned record doesn’t go anywhere, and your signatures stay valid on it.

A caseload view, built for small schools

The educator surface gives an operator one place to see the students whose families have shared with them: what’s waiting for a signature, what’s been witnessed, which records are complete enough for the application season the family is heading into. It is free for educators, permanently: witnessing and verification never cost the person doing the attesting.

The funding era raises the paper stakes

Education money increasingly arrives with documentation attached. ESA families file expense reports; scholarship programs verify eligibility; the 2025 federal 529 expansion put curriculum, tutoring, and dual-enrollment fees on the qualified list with a record-keeping burden to match. Families in your school will carry those duties whether or not anyone helps them. The same family record that holds the coursework you witness also produces the expense files and portfolios the funding asks for: paperwork that never lands on your desk.

What it costs

Free for you, permanently: witnessing, the caseload view, verification. Free for your families, forever: capture, witness signatures, the verifiable transcript, export. The one optional paid family service is generated compliance artifacts (Family Pro, $99 per year), and every document previews filled-in, free, first.

Why family-owned, not school-owned

Microschools are small on purpose, and records that live inside small institutions inherit their fragility. The record that serves a student for decades has to belong to the student’s family: portable across schools, states, and funding programs, with every attestation sealed onto it. Your school’s teaching becomes part of a record that outlives every enrollment. Read the sovereignty contract.

Frequently asked questions

Can a microschool issue transcripts through Eformogi?

The structure is deliberately different: the family issues the record, and the microschool witnesses it. Each course, project, or work sample a family logs can carry the operator's co-signature: a named educator attesting "I taught this, and it happened." A college or program then verifies the sealed record directly at a public link, no account needed. The operator never has to run a records office, and the record doesn't depend on the school still existing years later.

What does it cost an operator?

Nothing. Witnessing and verification are free for educators, permanently. The family's record is also free forever: capture, witness signatures, the verifiable transcript, verification, export. The one optional paid family service is generated compliance artifacts (Family Pro, $99 per year), and every document previews filled-in, free, first.

Does this replace accreditation?

No. A witnessed, verifiable family record makes every claim on the transcript checkable (who taught it, when, with what work behind it), which is precisely the documentation many colleges ask non-accredited programs' students to provide. Whether any given receiver accepts it is that receiver's call; several publish homeschool and non-traditional policies that family-issued records already satisfy.

What happens when a family leaves, or the school closes?

The record goes with the family, because it was theirs all along. Years of witnessed coursework survive a move, a program change, or a school that winds down. The operator's signatures stay valid on the sealed entries, and verification keeps working at the same public link.

What about ESA and scholarship documentation?

Families paying with ESA or scholarship funds carry documentation duties: expense records, sometimes attendance or progress evidence. The same family record produces those artifacts (expense reports, portfolios, year-end summaries), which takes that paperwork off the operator's desk too.

How do witness signatures work?

A family shares a work sample or course entry with the operator; the operator reviews and signs it once; the signature seals onto the record. It is a few minutes per student per term, not a registrar's job, and no student data lives on the operator's systems.
