Reviews
We absolutely loved our time at the Worldschool Antigua Hub. When I asked my daughter what her favorite part was, she simply said, “everything.” This was our first worldschool hub experience, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction.
Each day, my daughter was excited to return—crafts, bracelet making, learning about Mayan culture through dress-up, soap making, and a hands-on reptile encounter were just some of the highlights. The outdoor space offered so much room to play and explore, and spending time with Panda the farm dog and the two rescue puppies made it even more special.
Leaving was bittersweet—we were sad to go, but deeply grateful for the incredible experiences, the lifelong friendships we formed, and for such a positive beginning to our worldschooling journey.
Thank you, Alana and Bevan, for creating such a magical experience.
Alana and her team provide a caring and fun environment for kids to thrive. Our kids (11yo, 6yo, 5yo) have attended two hubs now and each one has enriched our kids lives. There are structured activities, but also a lot of spaces for the kids to take time for themselves or play in a small group if they don’t want to participate in the current activity – play areas, soccer field, climbing wall, huge garden, rabbits. We appreciate this flexibility as each of our kids have a different learning style. There were a couple of social conflicts with our kids in the first one, but it was handled professionally and with love. These were great learning opportunities for our kids. I would recommend this program to any family looking for semi-structured education for their children.
