Worldschooling Hubs and Programs Around the World (With Prices)

Worldschooling hubs are one of the best things to happen to travelling families. Your child gets a group of friends and a weekly rhythm, and you get a few quiet hours to work or explore. This directory brings together worldschooling hubs and programs around the world, with current prices from each hub’s own website.

We’ve homeschooled our son for about six years and travelled full time for four of them. We’re now based in Tbilisi, Georgia.

To be clear from the start: we’ve been to one hub, Antigua Global Explorers Worldschool in Guatemala. Every other listing is research, not experience. Each one is labelled “We’ve been here” or “Researched, not visited”. We checked every price and date on the official websites on 18 October 2026.

What is a worldschooling hub?

A worldschool hub is a learning space for travelling and home-educated children. Hubs are one of several ways families worldschool. It isn’t a school in the usual sense. Most hubs run mornings only, mix ages, and lean towards play, projects and local culture.

Worldschooling programs and communities come in four main types:

• Drop-in hubs: pay by the day, week or month and come and go. Good for flexible plans.
• Seasonal hubs and pop-ups: fixed sessions of a few weeks, often at the same time each year.
• Fixed-term programs: a set block, from two weeks to a full year, usually booked whole.
• Co-living communities: housing, coworking and the kids’ program in one package.

Worldschooling hubs in Latin America

Antigua Global Explorers Worldschool, Guatemala (We’ve been here)

This is the one hub we know first-hand. Our son, then nine, did the four-week program in January 2026. We paid US$750 in total, and nearly everything was included. Extra Spanish classes and a few outings cost a little more.

The hub runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm, on the grounds of Finca La Azotea, a beautiful coffee farm just outside Antigua. It’s taught in English. Children choose what they do, from crafts and Spanish to ball games, climbing and building a tree house. Nobody is forced into anything. Thursdays are outing days.

His group had about 20 children aged roughly 2 to 11, mostly American, plus Dutch, Belgian and other families. The parents’ community was just as good. Most Fridays, families met for dinner at a local bar with a big outdoor play area.

We loved the freedom, the activities and the setting. The founders, Gabriela and Julio, are wonderful. Our son made lots of friends and loved every day. We highly recommend it and would happily go back.

Who it suits: families who want a play-led, outdoor hub for a month, and parents who want community too.

Price: we paid US$750 for four weeks in January 2026. The website doesn’t publish current prices, so ask. Hubs run in four-week cycles almost every month, with dates listed for 2026 and 2027.

Official site: antiguaworldschool.com. For where to stay and what else to do, see our guide to Antigua Guatemala with kids.

Worldschooling hubs in Asia

Worldschooling Hub Goa, India (Researched, not visited)

We seriously considered Goa as a base, and it’s still on our list. The hub is in South Goa and runs four-week cohorts for up to 14 families. There’s a drop-off program for ages 3 to 11 and a Teen Hub for 12 to 18.

What we like most is the on-site accommodation, which really helps build community. There’s also a gym, a plunge pool and 24/7 coworking for parents.

Our worry is transport. When we visited Goa a few years ago, we really struggled. There was no Uber or proper ride-hailing app, and few tuk-tuks or taxis where we stayed. The hub isn’t on the beach. It’s about 10 minutes’ drive from Galgibaga and Talpona beaches, so plan how you’ll get around.

Who it suits: families who want a ready-made community and are happy to sort transport.

Price: £575 per child per month (weekdays 8:30am to 1pm), plus a £287 Community Pass per person, including adults. On-site rooms are £1,300 per room per month. There’s a £200 registration fee per family.

How to choose a worldschooling hub

Budget. Compare the total for your whole family, not the headline price. Some hubs charge parents too, and some charge registration fees.

Ages. Check who your child will actually be with. Mixed-age groups worked well for our son, but a teenager may want a dedicated teen program.

Academics or unschooling. Most hubs are play-led and won’t cover maths or reading. Plan to do that yourself. Our post on worldschooling academics explains how we handle it, and these are the worldschooling apps and websites we use.

Community. For us, the friendships mattered most. Look for hubs where families live nearby or meet outside hub hours. More on this in how worldschooling kids make friends.

Visas and the law. Check how long you can stay, and the home education rules where you’re going. Start with is worldschooling legal?

How long to stay. Four weeks was the sweet spot for us. It’s long enough for real friendships, and it matches most hub cycles. If you’re thinking longer term, read how to choose a home base. For more tools and communities, see our worldschooling resources guide.

What worldschooling hubs really cost

The hub fee is often the smallest part of the bill. Think in three layers.

• Classes: what most hubs charge for. Our month in Antigua cost US$750 for the hub itself.
• Accommodation: usually separate. Bansko apartments start at €192 a week, while Goa’s on-site rooms are £1,300 a month.
• Living costs: food, transport, excursions and insurance. These vary far more by country than hub fees do.

Co-living programs bundle all three, which saves a lot of planning and gives you a community from day one. A drop-in hub plus your own rental takes more organising but can cost less, especially in lower-cost countries.

Worldschooling hubs FAQ

How much does a worldschooling hub cost?

It varies widely. In our list, a four-week hub costs €600 in Morocco and £575 per child in Goa, before housing. A full year with the Global Classroom Project is US$11,880. We paid US$750 for four weeks in Antigua.

Are worldschooling hubs schools?

Mostly not. They’re learning communities without formal enrolment, grades or certificates. A few, like the Global Classroom Project, follow an academic curriculum.

How long should we stay at a hub?

Most hubs run three to six weeks. We found four weeks long enough for our son to settle and make close friends.

Do parents have to stay on site?

At drop-off hubs, no. In Antigua we dropped our son off for the morning. Some programs, like The Hive’s family adventures, are designed for parents to join in.

What language are hubs taught in?

Most international hubs use English. Many add local language classes, such as Spanish in Guatemala and Mexico.

How do we find worldschooling communities?
