              MAYA TALIT'S TIPS FOR
              HOME-SCHOOLING AT SEA


              CHOOSE THE RIGHT PROGRAMME
              “We opted for Laurel Springs. The school is
              fully accredited, offering Advanced Placement
              classes and even a model UN club, and gradu-
              ates have gone on to Yale, Harvard and Prince-
              ton universities. It was also user-friendly for the
              girls to do self-study.”
              HAVE ACCESS TO TUTORS
              “It’s always helpful to have some extra support.
              The girls had some back home in London be-
              fore we left, so whenever we wanted we could
              connect with them.”

              LEARN ACTIVELY WHEREVER YOU GO
              “Wherever you go, be active and seek out
              people who are interesting in the community.
              Keep your kids engaged. In Corsica we learned
              about Napoleon. In Mexico we met a shark sci-
              entist and helped her research baby sharks. In
              French Polynesia, we went for a hike and en-
              countered  archaeologists  digging  for  ruins,
              and they found a bone while we were standing
              there! All these experiences stayed with them.”

              DON’T WORRY ABOUT SCHEDULES
              “Let them run their own schedule. It’s not
              healthy for kids to be starting the school day
              so early like they do on land. They could make
              a schedule that suited each of them individually
              and skip a few days when we were travelling.”
              KEEP IT FUN
              “It has to be fun; they have to enjoy it. Every
              year we’d ask the kids, ‘Do you want to keep
              going?’ It was up to them as much as us.”
