We are essentially homeschoolers, meaning we choose to educate our children at home with us. We did this for a number of reasons, which I will go into in another post, but our main reason is because we see the infinite value in traveling with our children, experiencing different cultures and learning from this beautiful world we live in.
That is WORLDSCHOOLING.
There are many worldschoolers, travelling and learning around the globe. They range from families with a home base who travel regularly, to families that have sold everything and travel full time. We are somewhere in between. Our kids, recently turned 8 and 6, have been to Singapore, UK, Germany, France, Thailand, Italy, Dubai and of course, Australia. They love travelling! And it is such a thrill edventuring with them. It’s not always easy but worth it none-the-less.
There is no curriculum or one way to do worldschooling. Just like homeschooling, there are many different forms and it really depends on the family. We do a balance of formal schooling- it helps that I was a teacher for 10 years- and unschooling – meaning we go with the flow and learn from real life. Travelling with children means there’s always something new to learn, constantly immersed in the educational experience with parents often learning alongside their children. The world is our classroom!
