What is Worldschooling?
Worldschooling isn’t just about travel, it’s about learning through experience. Whether across the globe or just exploring your region, it’s curiosity led, culturally rich, and full of life lessons.
Full-time travelers
Families who live on the road year-round, learning as they go. Their lifestyle is completely mobile-exploring new countries, cultures, and landscapes while learning through real-world experiences.
Slowmad families
Also called slow-traveling nomads, these families stay in one location for weeks or months at a time. They may travel part of the year and pause during seasons, giving their kids deeper cultural immersion and time to rest and reflect.
Local explorers
These families explore their own state, region, or country instead of going abroad. They take day trips, weekend getaways, and local adventures to learn through nearby museums, nature, and history-all while rooted in a home base.
