Hey! It's Greg & Rachel Denning (founders of Worldschool Academy).
​
So grateful you're here reading this page!
​
Have you ever read The One World Schoolhouse by Sal Khan?
​
If you haven't, you should.
​
In it, he dives deep into why the old classroom model simply does NOT fit our changing needs.
​
It's based on a fundamentally passive way of learning. Today's fast-changing world REQUIRES a more active approach.
​
Yet while the world changes at a faster rate every day, the education system is changing at a glacial pace (if it is changing at all).
​
Every single day the gap grows wider between the way kids are being taught and what (and how) they actually need to learn.
​
What's a parent to do?
​
From the beginning, even before we had children, we decided to homeschool.
​
After our fourth child was born -- and we had four children under the age of four (!) -- we began our worldschooling journey by driving to Costa Rica.
​
That was in 2007, and since then we've traveled and lived in 35+ countries on five continents.
Learning languages, exploring castles, ruins, deserts, and beaches, and immersing ourselves in a foreign cultures has been an incredible education for the whole family.
