Frequently Asked Questions
How do students maintain connection with teachers and classmates while traveling?
Our platform is designed for access from anywhere with internet connectivity. Students participate in live sessions when time zones allow and access recordings when they don't. Teachers offer flexible office hours across time zones, and our messaging system works asynchronously for ongoing communication. Educational Concierges serve as a consistent point of contact, helping maintain connection despite geographical changes. Additionally, we create special connection opportunities for traveling students, including virtual meetups at accommodating times.
What happens when we're in an area with limited internet access?
We provide comprehensive strategies for limited connectivity situations. This includes downloadable materials for offline access, alternative assignment options, flexible due dates, and mobile-friendly learning activities. Your Educational Concierge will help you plan for known connectivity challenges and provide contingency options for unexpected issues. Many families use mobile hotspots, find local cafes or libraries, or plan intensive online activities around available connectivity, saving offline work for less connected periods.
How do you handle different time zones for live sessions?
We offer multiple scheduling options for essential live sessions and record all synchronous activities for asynchronous access. Your Educational Concierge will help develop a personalized schedule that balances live participation with recorded alternatives based on your locations and time zones. Many traveling families adjust their schedule to maintain some live connection, while others focus on asynchronous learning during intensive travel periods and increase synchronous participation during more stationary phases.
What physical materials or supplies will we need while traveling?
Our curriculum is designed to minimize physical materials, with digital alternatives for everything essential. Basic supplies like a notebook, pencils, and drawing tools are helpful but can be easily acquired locally if needed. Some families choose to carry small math manipulative kits or reading materials, but these are optional. Your Educational Concierge will provide a minimal packing list based on your child's grade level and specific courses, with suggestions for versatile items that serve multiple educational purposes.
How do you incorporate our travel experiences into the curriculum?
We believe travel offers extraordinary learning opportunities and provides several integration approaches. Each major unit includes "location connection" suggestions that link curriculum to different environments. Your Educational Concierge can provide specific recommendations for upcoming destinations, and our project-based learning approach allows students to incorporate local experiences into their work. We also offer travel learning documentation tools that help students reflect on and share their experiences in ways that connect to academic standards.
Will my child fall behind academically with a travel-based education?
When implemented thoughtfully, location-independent learning often enhances rather than hinders academic progress. Our comprehensive curriculum ensures consistent skill development, while real-world applications deepen understanding. Regular assessment maintains accountability regardless of location, and our Educational Concierges help families balance travel experiences with core academic progress. Many of our traveling students actually accelerate their learning due to the rich contextual experiences and personalized pace our program provides.
How do you handle standardized testing requirements for traveling students?
We work with families to meet state-specific testing requirements despite travel plans. This may involve scheduling travel around testing windows, arranging for proctored testing at international schools or educational centers, or utilizing online proctoring options when available. Your Educational Concierge will help you understand the specific requirements for your state of residence and develop a testing plan that accommodates your travel schedule while ensuring compliance with educational regulations.
What if we need to transition back to a traditional school after traveling?
Our program is designed to ensure students maintain grade-level proficiency across all subject areas, facilitating smooth transitions to traditional schools when needed. We provide comprehensive documentation of academic progress, including detailed transcripts, work samples, and assessment results. Your Educational Concierge can help develop a transition plan that identifies any potential gaps and addresses them before your return to traditional schooling. Many families successfully move between our program and conventional schools as their travel needs change.
