Question 1

What is a worldschool hub?

Accepted Answer

A worldschool hub is a pop up community of travelling families in one place, usually with a learning programme for the kids and a social calendar for the parents. It fixes the one day friend problem that comes with constant travel.

Question 2

How much does a worldschool hub cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary wildly and a lot of them are eye watering if you are travelling on savings rather than a laptop salary. Better Together on Phu Quoc was the rare one that actually worked on a normal family budget, which is why we stayed.

Question 3

Is the Better Together Hub good for families?

Accepted Answer

For us, yes. The kids had a stable friendship group for the first time in months, and we finally got proper adult conversation. It takes over most of a hotel so the children can roam between the pool and the playground with a dozen mates.

Question 4

Where is the Better Together Hub?

Accepted Answer

On Phu Quoc island in Vietnam. It is run by Daniella and her husband Fernando, who host hubs in different locations, but Phu Quoc is where we stayed for two terms.

Question 5

How do you join the Better Together Hub?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way in is their Facebook group, where they post upcoming locations, dates and how to book. You can find it here: the Better Together Hub Facebook group.

Question 6

Is worldschooling lonely for kids?

Accepted Answer

It can be, and that is the honest hard part, because every friend is a one day friend when you move constantly. A hub fixes that for a while by putting a group of travelling kids in one place, which is exactly why we stopped travelling for four months to do one.
