Once upon a classroom

March 24th 2026

We often get asked: “But what about school?”
It’s a fair question. Education looks a little different when your classroom has wheels!

Over the past years, we’ve slowly stepped away from traditional schooling and into worldschooling and unschooling. It has been such an interesting world opening up!
Learning is no longer just about reading, writing, and calculating. It becomes something much bigger. We don’t see education as something separate from life anymore, or something that prepares you for ‘the real world’. Life itself is their education and the real world is their classroom. As soon as you start seeing the learning opportunities in everyday life, you cannot unsee it anymore.

For us, learning doesn’t follow a fixed schedule or standard path —it happens everywhere. On dusty roads, through new cultures, in conversations with strangers, in museums, in nature, by simply following our curiosity together or through free play.
Geography comes alive while driving and hiking, math in everyday moments like shopping and cooking, history at ancient sites, and biology in nature. When something breaks on the truck, it becomes a lesson in problem-solving, engineering and physics — a surprisingly consistent part of the curriculum.
These subjects don’t exist separately. They overlap, connect and reinforce each other. And they are all experienced in real life rather than only in books.
Some days look structured. Many don’t.
Some lessons are intentional. Others appear unexpectedly, between hikes, border crossings and snack breaks.


That doesn’t mean we’re just “winging it” (okay, sometimes we are). We support our kids with a mix of tools and resources — from online platforms, apps and books to creative projects and involving them in real-world problem solving. But the starting point is always their curiosity, their pace, and their interests. Sometimes we do a bigger group project, sometimes it’s more individual according to what they’re interested in and their age.

And honestly, we are learning too. Constantly unlearning, relearning, questioning… and discovering how much more there is beyond the system we once knew.

So no, there is no school. But there is so much learning!
