Education Beyond the Classroom

Exceptional private educators who fully immerse themselves in your child's journey investing time and care to implement a curriculum that fits your family's values, schedule, and travel plans.

Mission

Through continuously refining our network of educators, we strive to become the go-to name for families seeking scholastic excellence, blended with hands-on learning from a certified, independent educator.

No Classroom Needed

We believe the most impactful educational journey's employ the world as their classroom. Worldschooling and homeschooling allow for a student to receive a customized curriculum while allowing more time to peruse special interests or talents.

Founder's Vision

“I firmly believe life's biggest lessons aren't learned in the traditional classroom, but instead unfold organically in real world contexts through exploration and discovery.

I'm eager to grow a community of like-minded educators and parents who excel in an environment where they can be flexible and believe that traditional education has become less effective for today's learner.”

Personalized curricula crafted by your educator match, aligned to your family's lifestyle.
Travel as an educational tool resulting in global awareness, cultural fluency, and a greater sense of empathy.
State certified, internationally inclined educators who possess the right blend of expertise, flexibility, and passion.

What We Provide

Private Educators by Structure

Proudly servicing families across Florida and Pennsylvania. Coming to California in spring of 2027 and New York soon after!

Full-Time or long term support

Homeschooling

Historically, prior to formal schooling, children received their education at home from parents or tutors. This practice is gaining popularity in modern times; especially post pandemic. Parents are returning to homeschooling as a preferred educational model. While various legal restrictions apply and compliance is the responsibility of your family, we offer a carefully selected private educator who work in close partnership with you to support your child's academic success.

Full-Time Or partial school year

Worldschooling

(Travel Based Homeschooling )

Worldschooling is an inspiring educational philosophy and lifestyle that combines academic learning with real-world travel and global adventure. At Olexa Education, families select the locations for their child's lessons, while we connect them with exceptional professional educators. We thoughtfully facilitate relationships with educators who uphold the highest caliber of professionalism, empowering children to flourish, wherever life's  journey takes them!

Schooling Reimagined

Parents are seeking customized learning solutions beyond the traditional classroom. Whether homeschooling or globe trotting around the world, our educators customize curricula transforming households and travel destinations into global classrooms and customized learning spaces.

Reasons Families are Turning to Alternative Forms of Education

Flexible Scheduling

Homeschooling and worldschooling allow for a tailored schedule that fits your family's rhythm and child's academic needs.

An individualized approach often results in more time allocated for family life, special interests, and hobbies.

Opportunities for Richer Educational Engagement

The nature of a one- on-one setting allows for learning beyond the state standards. Time can be dedicated to personal enrichment, specialized learning tracks , and the persuit of students' individualized interests.

Student interests become the building blocks for project based learning experiences allowing children to capitalize on their special talents and interests.

A holistic, student-centered approach stresses the importance of hands-on, exploratory learning whether at home or on the road.

Traveling as an Educational Transformative Journey

Traveling to a few locations, or an immersive experience around the globe, our educators accompany and support your child's education.

Children directly engage with art, customs, traditions, history, and languages to deepen global awareness and foster a greater sense of empathy.

Family & Educator Reviews

Lindsay

As an educator, I have always believed that education doesn’t begin and end with the classroom. The goal of school is to foster curiosity in the greater world beyond us. There is no substitute for real world experience! Having the opportunity to teach and travel gave me a deeper understanding of other cultures and historical events that have influenced the interplay of global relations. It allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and open myself up to new experiences that challenged me. These challenges built up a skill set to adapt to new environments, have a solution-oriented mindset to obstacles, and find a new level of empathy for others. In my opinion, it is the experiences in one’s life that provide satisfaction over material possessions.

I don’t know how I would have survived my year teaching abroad in several different countries without Desdeny’s assistance and support. She is a prime example of a dedicated, expert level educator with an incredibly valuable, unique skill set. I trust Desdeny to provide exceptional opportunities and the support that I need to ensure I am the best possible educator for any role that I assume. Desdeny is a vital, integral part of the success a private educator can achieve.

Navigating the nuances of travel based homeschooling can be daunting. Finding the right educator to accompany our family was the key to a successful year abroad. Desdeny's passion and vision speaks for itself. We are thrilled to be one of her founding families!

Desdeny helped us think holistically about our trip, our academic hopes, and our family trip. She understood the importance of the right personality fit, and she helped us think expansively about what a family teacher could mean for our children’s education. We feel a deep gratitude for Desdeny’s help, and the incredible teacher and friend she found us.

As an educator, I can't emphasize enough the value of using the world as your classroom! The amount of learning, exploration, and discovery is unmatched by anything in a traditional classroom. Want your children to learn a language? There's no better place than a location where it's the native tongue. Want them to learn history? There are countless history museums worldwide covering any period. What about writing and arithmetic? The world is full of opportunities to strengthen those skills. I have yet to meet anyone who regretted homeschooling while on the road.

— Spencer, Private Educator

We ignite curiosity, and empower children to learn using the world around them.
