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.”
