Global Classroom Project
A research informed, inquiry-based, student-led, facilitator supported, professionally unstructured world learning project
Learning Without Walls, An Experience Without Limits
The Global Classroom is an immersive, holistic, and family-supported learning journey designed for globally minded homeschoolers and worldschoolers seeking more than conventional education. Grounded in the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB), the program provides an inquiry-led, transdisciplinary curriculum framework tailored for students aged 10+.
Each 10-week term, families travel together to a new location—such as Thailand, Indonesia, or Vietnam—where learners engage with real-world themes, community experiences, and ecological systems through a thoughtfully curated learning plan. Educational facilitation is guided by an experienced mentor with a BA, PGCE, and MAEd, as well as a background in leading international and alternative schools.
This is not a school, not a drop-in service, and not a boarding program. Learners remain under the care and educational responsibility of their families at all times. Harmony’s Global Classroom serves as a learning enrichment experience—supporting self-directed, portfolio-based progression that can align with future pathways, including IB Diploma entry or alternative university admissions.
For families traveling with younger children, an optional worldschooling community hub offers informal enrichment, peer play, and homeschooling support. While not a replacement for formal schooling, it provides space for creative exploration and connection within a like-minded global learning community.
A World-Class Learning Experience in Inspiring Locations
We don’t just learn about the world—we experience it firsthand. The Global Classroom rotates through three carefully chosen locations per year, providing an immersive, learner-driven project that connects learning to real-world challenges and cultural contexts.

Term-Based Country Rotations
with a Continuous Inquiry
Learners and their families move to a new country each term, but their learning remains aligned, connected, and learner-driven.
IB-Aligned Core Subjects
Although not following the IB, our curriculum aligns with the IB Framework, covering Global Politics, Environmental Systems, Mathematics, Language & Literature, and the Arts with a flexible, interdisciplinary approach.
Facilitator-Guided, Learner-Led
Learners take ownership of their learning, asking big questions, designing projects, and pursuing inquiries, while the facilitator guides, supports, and ensures academic alignment.
Inquiry & Project-Based Learning
Learners explore real-world challenges, collaborating on hands-on projects that connect learning to life.
Portfolio-Based Assessment
No traditional grades
Learners build personalized learning portfolios, demonstrating mastery through projects, presentations, and research.
Pathways to IB Diploma & University
Whether learners plan to take the IB Diploma, apply to university through alternative admissions, or pursue their own path, our curriculum ensures they are fully prepared.
Balance of Freedom & Structure
Learning follows a clear academic framework, but learners shape their own learning paths through research, creativity, and independent inquiry.
