Worldschooling: How Our Children are Educated as We Travel

Before I go into details on how we are educating our children, I just want to touch on a few of the reasons we are homeschooling, or worldschooling.

[{"selector":"#anim-699210bd-e02f-416d-ad8c-69adeffdfeb2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a9bcf2a-0864-4ff4-8366-6648d9cb61c7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.09091%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Read More

There are several reasons, but 90 percent of the reason we are worldschooling is to give ourselves the freedom to travel.

[{"selector":"#anim-9d040e80-bd35-451b-a829-d9a9ce844966","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f6fda008-9d14-4263-afc9-5bb036150a33","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -99.4978%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Read More

Worldschooling has allowed me to move our youngest back into his appropriate grade level for age while continuing to educate him at his pace. Actually, I am educating them both where they are and not looking at grade levels at all.

So how are they educated?

Worldschooling for our family is a work in progress. We all agreed, including the children, to give it at least two years before deciding whether or not to continue. Read More

We started homeschooling in June of 2019. I should note that I have always required my children to do summer work to maintain what they had learned during the school year and to give some structure to their summers.

An incentive to work a little more…

It’s incredible what they will do to play video games for one hour! Read More

The system is genius and I can’t take credit for it — it was my husband’s idea! Read More

Initially, the boys separated this work into three shifts- computer, workbooks and writing, and music. On the computer, they were doing Khan Academy math, typing club, and Duolingo Spanish.

For writing, we were giving them weekly assignments, including essays, biographies, compare and contrast, poetry, opinion, etc. Music was 20 minutes of piano and 15 minutes of their secondary instrument.
