Resources for Home Schooling Sailors

You might be surprised how many families are out there cruising, home schooling, and enjoying the richness of a life outside the fast lane. In this post, I'll point you to them: the experts in the field. Each takes a different approach, and who knows? They might just inspire you with some new ideas or approaches, whether you're out there cruising as a family right now or still planning your Great Escape.

One of my favorite one-click resources and your best place to start is Women & Cruising's 12 Questions to 12 Sailing Families. A wealth of knowledge, all in one place!

My friend and editor Michelle Elvy shares her insights on sailing with children on her s/v Momo blog. You'll find a great post about moving aboard and sharing tight living quarters as a family here.

Behan Gifford has been cruising for years with her family, and shares her experiences on home schooling here.

My son and his friends made a great video about Boat Life while their parents were busy with boat repairs in Tauranga, New Zealand.

I hope these blogs and articles give you new ideas and inspiration for your own adventures in cruising and home schooling!
