There is no typical day in the life of the unschooler and that’s what makes this special. This morning the focus was on imagination and creativity. The scholars brought in a pet snake to the building today and the morning was filled with conversations about what snakes need in their habitat. Pinecones, trees and flowers are all things that snakes have in their natural habitat. The snake took a very long nap and teachers explained snakes need naps just like people do.

Ever wonder what a typical day for student at an unschooling academy looks like? Well, the truth is there is no typical day for an unschooler. Unschoolers might find themselves learning to podcast, code, or build video games. They might be engrossed in music or makeup or math. They might be learning to build a tower out of blocks or learning to build a business. As unschooling teachers, our role is to walk alongside our students, to know them deeply, and to support them as they take on the incredible work of owning their own education.
