The story of one family's worldschooling adventure, with tips and inspiration for anyone who wants to embrace travel as an immersive learning opportunity.
In The Everywhere Classroom: How One Family Turned Wanderlust into Worldschooling and How You Can Too, Andi Almond recounts her family's experiences traveling the globe for a year, revealing the rich educational opportunities the world offers beyond traditional classrooms. Through the engaging and often humorous stories of the Almond family's adventures-from an impromptu expedition to Antarctica to a solo teen homestay in Taiwan-the book captures how travel off the tourist trail offers profound lessons that push comfort zones and foster growth and global awareness.
Each chapter weaves a vivid tapestry of encounters that illustrate how families can make the most of their travels, whether on a weekend getaway close to home or extended adventure far afield. Supplemented with practical tips, curriculum ideas, and strategies for incorporating worldschooling into trips of any length and budget, The Everywhere Classroom goes beyond being a mere travelogue. It serves as a catalyst for change, inspiring families to explore purposefully and discover boundless learning in the world.

The Everywhere Classroom isn't a travel book, it's an inspiration. With Covid in the rearview mirror, we can finally explore the world again. And we can think more creatively about what it means to educate our children. I was reminded anew that every day in every place has something to teach us-and these are a lot of cool places!
