What is Extraschooling?
Extraschooling provides supplemental education ideas that blend traditional subjects and the 4 C’s – curiosity, creativity, compassion, and communication – with the goal of inspiring lifelong learners who can think critically about the world around them.
Created by a homeschooled homeschooler, yet geared to pair with any style, from unschooling to public schooling, as well as all ages and any family size. Find real-world applications mixed with thought-provoking questions, invitations to explore, and plenty of latitude to make it your own.
Extraschooling is inclusive and believes in the beauty of the diversity found across our planet.
