We love this becuase the kids can follow along while being read a story. It helps them learn new 'larger' words then they would be able to read... but still help them enjoy the story.

Why we
Travel school

Why wetravel school
IMG_5050.heic

Being homeschooled growing up, both Josh and I found many benefits to it. We decided early on to travel school so the kids would be able to learn in our unquie travel lifestyle.  

Travel schooling offers a unique opportunity for parents to tailor their child's education to suit their individual needs, interests, and learning styles. In a homeschool environment, the curriculum can be customized to accommodate a child's strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to progress at their own pace. Whether a child excels in mathematics but struggles with reading, or vice versa, homeschooling provides the flexibility to devote more time and resources to areas where additional support is needed, fostering a deeper understanding and mastery of subjects.

 

Beyond academic customization, travel schooling also nurtures a close-knit family dynamic and fosters strong relationships between parents and children. With the flexibility of scheduling, families can spend more quality time together, engaging in meaningful conversations, pursuing shared interests, and embarking on educational outings. 
 

Moreover, homeschooling offers a safe and supportive learning environment free from many of the distractions and pressures present in traditional school settings. Children can learn in a comfortable space where they feel secure to express themselves, ask questions, and explore their passions without fear of judgment or comparison. We believe this nurturing atmosphere fosters a love for learning and encourages children to take ownership of their education, empowering them to become self-motivated, lifelong learners who are well-equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow.

We know travel (home) schooling isn't for everyone, but if you are looking into it and have any questions - please reach out!
