We work with each worldschooling family or community leader to design their dreamed worldschooling experience in Peru according to the time of the year, their time availability, their kid’s ages, specific interests, etc.

For now, our operations are based in Cusco and the Sacred Valley. In the near future, we plan to expand our operations in other destinations among Peru.

Themed educational workshops in the Sacred Valley

We offer educational workshops, which include presentations and hands-on activities designed based on the ages of the kids and the amount of participants in each group. For example, activities for a small group with younger kids may include simple crafts and matching games, while activities for a larger group with older kids may include trivia competitions or more complex cards or board games.

The duration of each workshop is 3 hours. All workshops will be led by professionals with vast knowledge/expertise in the topics covered. All of them are fluent in English and have experience teaching and leading groups.

Ideal for families and groups who want to explore the area on their own but are looking for a fun and interactive way to keep learning about those specific topics they find especially interesting.

We have designed the following 12 workshops related with four umbrella themes:

a) History and Archaeology:

  1. “The pre-Inca civilizations of ancient Peru”
  2. “The Majestic Inca Empire”
  3. “Colonial and Republican Peru”.

Themed experiential learning programs in the Sacred Valley

We have designed four themed experiential learning programs. Each of these programs last 6 days (3 days of workshops and 3 days of excursions). Worldschoolers may choose as many of these programs as they desire.

The programs are the following:

a) History and Archaeology:

Includes workshops with hands-on activities about “The pre-Inca civilizations of ancient Peru”, “The Majestic Inca Empire”, and “Colonial and Republican Peru”.
