Kate Laird boatschooled her 2 daughters while sailing from the US to Greenland, Europe, Antarctica, New Zealand, Japan and now Alaska. Kate wrote Homeschool Teacher as a guide to help families educate their children without sacrificing either academics or adventure. Go to http://www.katelairdbooks.com/ and read Noonsite Review.

Suki Kaiser has a great blog post Homeschool, Un-school, Fun-school....it's all cool, for those wondering what alternative boatschooling methods might work.

Michael Robertson explains the ins and outs of what it's like to homeschool your kids while living aboard in this article - Boat school is in Session [2016] - for Cruising World Magazine.

After 20 years of boatschooling four kids, mum Renee has a great introductory video [2023] on how boatschool worked for them.
