The
World Is Their
Classroom Local families share their “worldschooling” adventures. Words by Betsy Jewell
The term “homeschooling” indicates that learning takes place at home, but for some adventurous families, the absolute opposite is true. “Worldschooling” is the combination of education and travel. This method allows families to provide an educational experience for their children by experiencing and interacting with the world around them. Now may not be the time to start traveling the world, but the Central Florida families interviewed for this article began their worldschooling journeys long before the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re sharing their stories here as inspiration for families who may be considering all of the possibilities that exist for nontraditional education in the future.
