Traveling with the kids?
Let's team up to make this an unforgettable experience!
Our online learning collective keeps your kids engaged academically and socially while deepening their connection to the people, places, and experiences of your trip.
Sign up to join our virtual Social Club!
(It's free and guests are welcome!)
What we do
Connect students to an online community of other kids traveling with their families
Empower students to follow a personalized academic plan that suits their individual needs
Engage students in a method that deepens their travel experiences and inspires curiosity
Prepare students academically so when their trip is over, they're ready for whatever is next
Who this is for
Students ~8-14 years old (3rd-8th grade) who possess sufficient curiosity, ability, and desire to gain from and contribute to our collaborative, explorative learning community.
We use a learning model optimized for travel that combines independent study and synchronous small-group sessions to satisfy everything from academic standards, to social connection, to travel logistics.
How we do it
We create a unique virtual environment that helps students build in-demand skills for the 21st-century and provides opportunities to connect with each other.
We stoke the fires of curiosity and wonderment through a method that's dynamic, engaging, and weaves the new information we gain into a comprehensive tapestry of knowledge.
We grow life skills that lead to success, such as collaborating with others using common applications, conducting efficient and accurate online research, and expanding their capacities for personal accountability, responsible decision-making, and self-direction.
We help students apply the knowledge and skills we gain to solve problems, exercise good judgment, and empower a more-thorough and connected understanding of the story of our world.
Who might thrive in our Learning Collective
Students who are curious and ready for self-directed education
Students who are interested in learning about science, history, and/or social sciences
Students who might be described as fast-learners
Students who may have become bored or have lost their former motivation and interest in academics
Students who might be 'gifted', advanced in math or literacy, or knowledgeable about science/history
Students who are not adequately served by the traditional school model
"The sessions that we do with Mr. Kingsbook are exciting and fun. We learn about so many different things. Sometimes we play games, other times we learn about things that we are interested in. It is very flexible and often changes the subjects on which we learn. It has about 3-6 people and all of them tell Mr. Kingsbook if they want to learn about something in particular. Kids who are interested in learning would enjoy this. Having our meetings online makes access to information easy and simple."

"Mr. Kingsbook taught me so many things... he made learning not just fun, but exciting. If I’m being honest, I don’t know what I would have done if it hadn’t been for Mr. Kingsbook. I owe a lot to him, and I’m grateful I was able to be his student."

"Daniel has been an amazing, thoughtful leader in our twin's learning journey. He is an innovative educator and always keeps students engaged, interested and entertained. His nimble and flexible approach allows our kids to build on their strengths and overcome their challenges. He's a true motivator and thought partner. Working with him over the past two years has given us confidence to travel during our kids' formative middle school years"

What our families have to say
"You know Daniel and his method are unique when your 2nd grader keeps asking "when is the next class?" We are a world-traveling family and bilingual as well. In a few weeks we saw so much progress that we decided to go full time with Daniel. His method and teaching personality are amazing!"

"Mr. Kingsbook taught me so many things... Things that even three years later I haven’t learned again in middle school. He made learning not just fun, but exciting. I was excited every time I hopped on that zoom call. If I’m being honest, I don’t know what I would have done if it hadn’t been for Mr. Kingsbook. I owe a lot to him, and I’m grateful I was able to be his student."
