What is Worldschooling?
Worldschooling is an educational approach that uses travel as a primary learning tool, allowing children to gain firsthand experiences of different cultures, environments, and ways of life. Whether you're full-time travelers, take extended trips, or incorporate regular educational travel into your lifestyle, OpenEd can help support your worldschooling journey.
How OpenEd Supports Worldschooling Families
OpenEd partners with innovative public schools to provide resources and funding that complement the worldschooling lifestyle:
- Access curriculum and resources that work with your mobile lifestyle
- Receive reimbursement for educational materials that travel well
- Connect with other worldschooling families
- Document learning experiences from your travels
- Maintain flexibility while meeting educational requirements
Global Learning Principles in Action
OpenEd's approach aligns beautifully with worldschooling principles:
Learning Through Experience
Worldschooling values direct, immersive learning experiences. OpenEd recognizes and supports this by acknowledging travel and cultural immersion as valuable educational opportunities.
Flexibility and Adaptability
Just as worldschooling families must adapt to changing environments, OpenEd offers flexible requirements that can accommodate varying schedules and locations.
Global Citizenship
Worldschooling develops global awareness and cultural competence. OpenEd supports this broader view of education that extends beyond traditional academics.
