Adventureschooling – Ann & David Severi

Adventure Schooling is a style of homeschooling that emphasizes field trips. The Severi family will discuss their hundreds of small trips to natural wonders, cultures, museums, films, plays, scientific centers, historic sites, and the fascinating people they have met. They will also talk about their year-long trip throughout the United States and Canada specifically for the education of their three daughters. The family also taught English in Taiwan so the children could be immersed in Chinese culture. David and Ann and their three teenagers will be arriving at the CHN Expo in their RV after completing another 5 months exploring the desert southwest since February.
