Worldschooling Hub - Slovakia
25th July - 15th August 2026
Two Locations, Two Different Experiences:
Mountain Adventure and Back to Traditions in Slovakia
Join us for an unforgettable getaway, This is where the magic truly happens.
High Tatras Week
25th July - 1st August 2026
We begin our Hub in Slovakia with a special week in the High Tatras, staying together as a group at the Tatragolf resort. Surrounded by dramatic peaks and fresh mountain air, this part is all about connection, nature, adventure, and breathtaking views.
Over 7 days, we’ll explore beautiful alpine landscapes through stunning hikes and outdoor activities suited for different ages.
We will climb at the highest climbing wall in the central Europe, visit a cave,
interactive illusions including a mirror maze and much more.
Living together in one place creates something truly special — children have friends right at their doorstep, free to play in a safe, gated environment, while adults enjoy meaningful time together through mums and dads meetups, women’s circles,
games nights, barbeques and relaxed evenings.
It’s a powerful start to the hub, blending adventure, connection, and community.
Back to Traditions – Central Slovakia
1st August - 15th August 2026
After the first week of bonding and stunning mountain hikes, we'll settle in central Slovakia for two weeks,
surrounded by forests, rolling hills, and a deep connection to tradition.
This part of the hub is designed as a fully immersive, hands-on experience — not something you watch, but something you live.
Together, we will dive into the region’s rich history, a world of traditional skills and crafts.
We’ll spend time with local artisans and experience blacksmithing, pottery, wool processing, basket weaving, shamanic drum making. We will try archery, gold panning, horse riding, visit a traditional farm where we’ll see sheep and horses
and even try milking. We’ll make our own sausages from scratch, cook them over the fire, and share meals together outdoors. We’ll visit a traditional Koliba with live music and taste authentic Slovak food. There will be birds of prey encounters, hands-on experiences with snakes and lizards, crystal hunting in the forest, and visit to gold and silver mine and stunning castles.
In between all of this, there is space to slow down — swimming in nearby lakes, spending time in nature,
and gathering around the fire.
These two weeks are rich, unique, and deeply memorable.
A rare opportunity for children and adults to not just learn about traditions, but to experience them fully — together.
The Best Part? I Handle All the Planning!
No need to spend hours researching activities.
I’ve taken care of everything for you!
Simply arrive, relax, and enjoy a carefully curated adventure packed with the best experiences this area has to offer.
No stress, no hassle—just pure enjoyment with
other worldschooling families.
Creating Long-Lasting Memories
Experience the magic of Slovakia through two unique settings —
one week of adventure in the stunning High Tatras, followed by
two weeks packed with hands on experiences.
This hub offers a perfect balance of connection, exploration,
hands-on experiences, and time in nature.
Join us and create memories your family will carry for years to come.
Why To Join Our Hubs?
Because something truly special happens when likeminded families from all around the world come together—bringing different cultures, languages, and perspectives into a shared space of connection. Our hubs create the perfect environment for even deeper friendships and meaningful connections, both for children and parents. Despite our diverse backgrounds, we communicate in a common language—English—and what unites us is a shared desire to learn through life, explore together, and build community that feels like family.

Unfortunately, in this area we weren’t able to find a single venue large enough to accommodate the entire group together, like we will during our first week in the High Tatras. However, many of the available accommodations offer multiple apartments or rooms within one complex — making them a great option for families or groups of friends who would still like to stay close to one another.
