Unschooling

Life IS the curriculum.

Origin

John Holt, 1970s, USA

Core Logic

No curriculum. No tests. Pure curiosity.

Beyond the Classroom

Unschooling removes the boundary between ā€œlifeā€ and ā€œschool.ā€ Learning is not something that happens at a desk; it’s something that happens because you are alive and curious.

Core Logic

  • Natural Learning: Following a child’s obsession—whether it’s dinosaurs, coding, or baking—wherever it leads.
  • Trust: Deep respect for the learner’s intrinsic drive.
  • Community as Resource: The whole world becomes the learning environment.

The Privilege Tension

Requires highly engaged caregivers and often relies on resources not accessible to everyone.
