What Can Kids Learn From Worldschooling? - Worldschooling Q&A Podcast - S01E03

Worldschooling Q&A Episode 3 – What Can Kids Learn From Worldschooling?

In this episode of Worldschooling Q&A, Astrid (The Wandering Daughter) and her husband, Clint, dive into a common question from families interested in worldschooling: what can kids learn from worldschooling?

Drawing on their family’s four years of full-time travel across 18 countries and six continents, Astrid and Clint share how worldschooling helps children grow academically, emotionally, and socially. From cultural awareness to critical thinking, and from math through currency exchange to language learning through real-world immersion, they explore the practical and profound benefits of using the world as a classroom.

Watch to see all the things kids can learn about from worldschooling.
