What this is
A place-based family worldschool tucked into the Adriatic island of Hvar, Croatia — a nonprofit running a drop-off school for kids alongside a community program for the parents who travel with them.
Kids learn in small age groups, from Early Years through Secondary, with hands-on tracks in regenerative agriculture, textiles, boat building, and edible plants. Summer 2027 runs as six two-week sessions from June 5 to August 28, alongside twelve-week terms in spring (March 13 – June 5, 2027) and fall (September 4 – November 27, 2027). Parents have on-site coworking and concurrent workshops.
A turn-key choice for families committing to a season — or a full school year — of slow travel on a Mediterranean island.
