School onboard Regina
Jessica's & Jonathan's School onboard while Sailing
Before we even started our preparation of our blue-water adventure, we spoke with Jessica's and Jonathan's teachers about the possibility of them going to school onboard Regina for a period. Since our venture was to include our kids education, their thoughts were crucial for us. Luckily, we were fortunate enough that both teachers reacted very positively and enthusiastically, immediately seeing the benefits this also could have on the classes at school back home. "Not everybody has a foreign correspondence, reporting back directly into class about what they experience, see and learn!", they said. "If we all can't come with you, we will have Jessica and Jonathan reporting back into class about what they see and what they learn, giving live material to work on in various subjects", they figured.

Backed up with this support, we could continue our preparations, knowing that our key element of our cruise, namely education, can be worked on.

English speaking kids obviously have the practical possibility of going to correspondence schools, while we, being Scandinavian, need to invent the wheel each time another cruising family casts off.

To encourage other families to do the same with their children, we will update our experiences on this page continiously updating you on how we proceed. This page is thus intended as the "Teacher's Corner", while the school-work itself is being published on Jessica's Page and Jonathan's Page respectively, however mainly in Swedish.

A specific story on Boat Kids is found under Regina 2005.
