Travel does wonders for kids and adults, so combining them by exploring the country full-time as a family and schooling on the road doesn’t mean your kids will fall behind on their learning. Most children have good communication and friend-making skills, an inquisitive demeanor, have a better understanding of geography, and are more willing than the average child to participate in activities or help around their RV or the campground. What I do see across the board is that roadschooled kids seemed very well-rounded.
In all honesty, I see a range of parental teaching styles, from strict daily school schedules, online self-study programs to allowing kids to roam and learn through daily interactions with other people and hands-on experiences. In fact, many RV families partake in workamping opportunities, so the parents can remain near the kids all day while still bringing in an income. In all my years of full-time RVing, it wasn’t unusual to see families who roadschooled their kids, even in “snowbird” locations. Nomadic full-time RVers must rely on various homeschooling curriculums to teach their children while traveling around the US. Recent statistics state that over one million full-time RVers are on the road, with an estimated 30 percent of them traveling with school-age children. The term “roadschooling” is what many full-time RVing families call teaching their kids, and the number of pupils keeps growing every year.
