037 All About Road Schooling with WeLiveOnaBus


Listen Later

Tina and Chris adopted two boys 4 years ago Elijah and Rylee. They're on a journey as a new family to grow and challenge themselves by traveling around the US -- and road schooling full-time on a renovated school bus. They love to say "We Live on a Bus.”    If you have kids and you’ve dreamed of doing a sabbatical or a year long trip with your kids while they’re a certain age, but schooling always stops that dream in your tracks — this is the episode for you. In this episode, mom Tina shares her approaches for road schooling, on-the-road education, and using travel to create the best version of learning tailored for each child. 
  • Selling everything to travel full-time (with their house under contract in 8 hrs) 
  • Adapting their school routines into "road schooling" (and the distinction with home schooling or a popular trend called UNschooling) 
  • Common fears and questions they get asked about road schooling
  • Learning your state's home schooling requirements 
  • Ways to stay compliant with state education rules 
  • Field trip learning & "hours in the field" 
  • Creating an Explorer's Workbook to help log all their field trip learnings 
  • Currently Airbnb hopping and "practicing bus life" (like, not using the dishwasher)
  • What's next for them & when they start road schooling full time in the skoolie (or school bus home, for the rest of us)
