Household dynamic:

• This adventurous family of five is embracing the world as their classroom! After stepping away from traditional schooling this year to explore the possibilities of private education while traveling, they are now seeking a team of two private educators to help the family create a tailored, enriching academic experience for their three children (currently in 3rd, 5th, and 7th grade) using the world as their classroom. All three children love learning and enjoy both traditional school and homeschooling. They are into arts and crafts, cooking, music, sports, reading, animals, space, and science. They have adapted well to their family’s on-the-go lifestyle, hopping on a whim to far-off places. The family envisions an approach that incorporates worldschooling opportunities alongside a strong, customized academic foundation. While the two younger children are thriving in this new academic setting, their eldest, a motivated learner who is a year ahead in math, needs an educator who will help guide her ambitions and keep her challenged! The family values education and is committed to giving their children a globally-minded learning experience where they can make the most out of every location they visit, while feeling confident they are keeping up-to-speed on the milestones set forth by a traditional school system so their children can transition back in at some point. They are excited to welcome educators who share their values in education and a passion for worldschooling and travel.
• The family’s home base is in Franklin, Tennessee, though they don’t often find themselves there for long stretches of time! Right now, they are on a two-month trip throughout Asia and Australia and plan to explore Europe ‌next year. Supporting this dedicated home are its housekeepers, maintenance staff, and temporary tutors who are transitioning to new roles before the holidays.

‍Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for self-directed, independent, and highly organized private educators who value both academic growth and global exploration. Candidates who excel at creating customized learning plans and curricula tailored to the unique strengths, needs, and interests of each child will be the perfect fit. Someone who brings strong experience or familiarity in worldschooling and finds joy in creating meaningful educational experiences and using the day’s location as an opportunity for fostering learning and excitement will be an amazing fit! The family is seeking two private educators who can meet each child where they are, including providing their eldest, a bright and motivated student who is eager to move ahead, and support her learning aspirations. The right candidate will be dedicated to ensuring each child has tailored learning experiences, rather than having a default curriculum for everyone or sticking to the middle ground. They will have confidence and initiative to add to and execute individualized curriculum plans and will have a strong sense of emotional intelligence to connect with each child in an enriching and meaningful way while on the road.
• Since the family travels for many weeks throughout the year, the perfect candidate is confident and experienced in navigating ever-changing environments, whether it is a new city or country, and thoughtful about what it means to integrate experiential learning into daily life. Candidates who are well-traveled, culturally aware, and confident in managing logistics will be valued! A health-conscious candidate with a positive presence who can serve as a strong role model for all three children, supporting them holistically in their academics, confidence, and daily living. The family is excited to welcome candidates from any background or walk of life - they value their children being taught how to think, not what to think, and they are seeking someone who is nurturing and intellectually curious, who is comfortable leaving strong political or religious opinions outside of the classroom and maintaining a neutral, respectful environment.
• Responsibilities include designing and implementing individualized, developmentally appropriate academic curricula for each child, balancing academic instruction with an experiential, worldschooling learning approach while traveling, maintaining and tracking academic progress to adapt lessons across dynamic environments, and planning and supervising excursions and other enriching activities for all children. Candidates are also responsible for working collaboratively with the other educator and communicating effectively with parents regarding academic plans, progress, and needs, fostering independence, curiosity, critical thinking, a global mindset in children, and traveling. Private educators will also help in creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, and during the day, candidates will also help with light childcare duties, including child-related household tasks including but not limited to meal and snack prep, tidying, organizing of children’s areas, ensuring children are hydrated, applying sunscreen, and preparing them for excursions, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year.
