Worldschooling 101: Education on the Road

One of the most common questions we get is: "But what about their education?" The truth is, the world is the best classroom. We practice a mix of structured homeschooling and "worldschooling."

What is Worldschooling?

Worldschooling is an educational movement that recognizes that a student can receive no greater education than by experiencing and interacting with the world around them. It's about learning history by visiting ancient ruins, learning biology in tropical rainforests, and learning math by calculating currency exchange rates.

Our Curriculum

While we rely heavily on experiential learning, we do maintain a core curriculum for math and language arts to ensure our kids are hitting standard milestones.

• Math: We use an online, self-paced program that adapts to their skill level.
• Reading: Lots of physical books and a Kindle loaded with classics.
• Science & History: Driven entirely by our current location.

The Social Aspect

Another common concern is socialization. We actively seek out other traveling families through Facebook groups and local meetups. Our kids have friends from all over the world, exposing them to diverse cultures and perspectives.

Worldschooling isn't always easy, but watching our children learn about the Roman Empire while standing in the Colosseum makes it all worth it.
