WeLearn Academy Newsletter – October 4 – October 8, 2021
Dear WeLearn Community:
As many of you know, I’ve been in the US for the last month doing a “van life” (motorhome) tour
with my two youngest daughters (both WeLearn learners) and son (former WeLearn learner now living in
the US). As the founder of WeLearn, it has always been my dream to create an education system that
not only focuses on key future skills but also is flexible enough to allow families to pursue alternative types
of learning from time to time, such as “worldschooling” (learning through travel) or passion projects and
activities (like our Learner, Goyu Nakagawa, who is a top junior motorcycle racer).
This was my first opportunity to test out the WeLearn model in a “worldschool” context, and it held up well,
although the time zone differences made participation in PBL and STEM Innovation difficult (we need
WeLearn USA!). The girls kept up with their online learning, did a lot of offline learning in the great
outdoors, and spent valuable family time with their older brother.
To help other families pursue this type of learning with access to the full WeLearn model, we will start
working on making our PBL curriculum and recordings of PBL classes available after the sessions.
Public Holiday
The WeLearn Center (Bangkok and Hua Hin) will be closed on Wednesday, October 13th, 2021, for the
