Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future. ~ Maria Montessori We get a lot of questions about our travel-school. “Where/how do you teach?” or “Who makes lunch?” or “Do you give home-work?” A lion’s share of kids love…

Land. Sea. Repeat.
Fall in Newport is a dream… Gorgeous weather, dear friends, Sophia’s first Homecoming, and lots of fall baseball! Life on land is good. As we are now well into our fifth year of home-schooling, I think we are solidly on our path. However, in the true spirit of Travel-School, it is soon time to pick…
Béisbol y el Jardin del Turia
Naturally, we could find fútbol in Spain. But could we find American Baseball? Years ago when we lived in Valencia, Sydney played fútbol (= american soccer) and it was a memorable experience for her… for us all, actually. Playing sports in another country is a great way to make friends and learn the local language on…
Mallorcan Mojo
“I watch, as the gentle giant’s many mountains craggle to meet the water Standing tall in a thin film of hazy purple fog Its immense litoral stretch of sea-land Calls to my every sense. This moment is divine perfect.” – – excerpt from poem titled, “Edge of Infinity“, L. Rey Mallorca was a dream with…
¿Habla español?
Travel-School 2018-2019 started early this year. Tony’s schedule was to race in the Mediterranean for most of the summer/fall and we love Spain, so we organized our late summer and early fall to be based here. We spent two weeks on Mallorca, followed by four weeks in Valencia. Our primary goal was for the kids…

The Keys are a line of tropical islands stretching roughly 120 miles between Miami and Cuba and betwixt the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The Keys are gorgeous, up and down, and over the years we have found…

“Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” – Martin Luther King Jr. We are often asked what model we use in our Travel School. There are un-schoolers, classic education home-schools, and many other hybrids. Our homeschool provides a college-prep education using a travel and literature-based approach to mastery learning….
About Socialization
SOCIALIZATION. When talking about our travel school, often someone will comment to us in a hushed tone, “But what about socialization?”… I cringe at the question, but understand the concern. Children are inherently social creatures and luckily ours make friends of every age, color, religion and nationality wherever we go. Travel-Schooling for us, involves about seven…
Cortado-School on World History
“When you’re surrounded by people who share a passionate commitment around a common purpose, anything is possible”. This quote by fellow coffee-lover, Howard Shultz, speaks to the core by which our Cortado program thrives. We are all invested. The kids health and well-being, their school, the maintenance and safety of the boat, Tony’s work projects,…
Leaving the Dock: Miami
“That’s the way things come clear – all of the sudden. Then you realize how obvious they have been all along.” – Madeleine L’Engle Tony and I wanted our kids to have a relationship with the sea, and with this we have all benefitted greatly. What we are learning about life, each-other, and ourselves transcends…
