We’re honored to join a small but growing global community of worldschooling hubs, but we don’t consider ourselves just that. Whereas worldschooling hubs tend to prioritize play and connection, and they serve families looking for peer time for themselves and their children. We serve long-term traveling families – worldschoolers – but we also find other types of people join us: adventurous homeschoolers, gap year families, and children in traditional school who travel on breaks and holidays.
Deliberate Detour focuses on what we value most: cultural immersion, hands-on learing, and local knowledge. Our hubs draw together the elements that feed our souls: walks past gorgeous murals or ancient ruins, hands-on exploration of traditional craft, culinary discoveries through cooking, stories from history, market visits and fruit tasting, and so much more, all organized and led by local people
Our participating families travel the world because they love the richness of cultures all over the planet, find other ways of life fascinating, strive to absorb the beauty of these places, and dream of showing their children these gifts. They understand that immersive travel changes lives by opening minds, dismantling stereotypes, and creating respect… all critical for a more peaceful planet. Read more about our hubs here.
