Publisher's Summary

Up early for class and up late for homework. Outdated, overcrowded schools are taking up our children's time and taking away from valuable life experiences. There's a better way to learn - and The 5-Hour School Week is how we hacked homeschool so we could enjoy our life and our kids!  

When Aaron and Kaleena Amuchastegui took their kids out of school to travel the globe and educate them through experiences, their children became more engaged, self-aware, curious, and passionate about learning. Now, they share their inspiring successes and practical advice to give you the tools you need to create your own unconventional education plan, no matter what your budget, walking you through topics like: 

  • Teaching kids to love learning 
  • Providing a social education 
  • Incorporating travel into lessons 
  • Emphasizing practical skills 
  • And more 

This isn't your mom's homeschooling. This is an innovative, eclectic approach to education that will revolutionize your family's life.

life experiences make the best learning

I found this book really interesting and enjoyable. I have been homeschooling 2 years now but I felt like I wasn't doing enough. This was amazing for me because I realized my kids are learning all the time as I did as a child and school didn't prepare me for life. I would recommend this book for any homeschooler. I also think it comes across very travel based which they use to teach geography/ history but I can see how it can work in other ways for example my son of 6 loves cooking so doing an hour of maths/english/science allows him to have time to practice cooking ( he made doughnuts the other day) I will be doing this from now on.

Encouraging

I found the book inspiring heading into our first year of homeschooling. It was helpful to me for ideas that I will likely use to explain to my friends and family the positive opportunities that homeschooling can offer. I found it a bit repetitive, and it mostly tells of the author’s family’s journey with homeschooling. They are keen to travel and learn life lessons first hand.
