Using the wider world — travel, cultures, museums, and real places — as the primary classroom.

Worldschooling families treat a foreign market, a tide pool, or a historic site as the lesson itself, with reading and projects built around what the children encounter. Some travel full-time; many simply lean on day trips and their own region. It overlaps with roadschooling but puts the emphasis on real-world and cultural immersion rather than the travel itself.
