Homeschool Across America

by

One of the dreams that we have around this house is to buy an RV and travel. Just drive back and forth across this country exploring every inch of it. Yes, I know how much gas that would take. That’s why it’s a dream and not a reality.

But someone else is making that a reality for them. Welcome to Homeschool Across America. Where one lucky little girl and her mother are taking to the open road to explore and learn about America from a hand’s on perspective.

Homeschool Across AmericaLike millions of other children around the country, 9 year old Caroline Haroldson of Lake Oswego, Oregon will start school the day after Labor Day. But unlike most fourth graders, she won’t enter any school doors.
Instead, Caroline will begin a six week trek homeschooling (or “travelschooling”) across the contiguous United States with her mother in a quest to learn about our nation’s history, geography, and government. She’s on a mission to find the best learning adventures in the country for families looking for enriching travel destinations.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous. But while I can’t take the voyage with her, we all can at least travel vicariously with her. Check out the itinerary to see where she’s be going. Look at the curriculum they will be using along the way. And of course don’t forget to find out more about them and why they are taking this great adventure.
