The 5-Hour School Week

Kaleena and Aaron Amuchastegui

Up early for class and up late for homework. Outdated, overcrowded schools are taking up our children’s time and taking away from valuable life experiences. There’s a better way to learn—and The 5-Hour School Week is how we hacked homeschool so we could enjoy our life and our kids! When Aaron and Kaleena Amuchastegui took their kids out of school to travel the globe and educate them through experiences, their children became more engaged, self-aware, curious, and passionate about learning. Now, they share their inspiring successes and practical advice to give you the tools you need to create your own unconventional education plan, no matter what your budget, walking you through topics like:

  • Teaching kids to love learning
  • Providing a social education
  • Incorporating travel into lessons
  • Emphasizing practical skills
  • And more

This isn’t your mom’s homeschooling. This is an innovative, eclectic approach to education that will revolutionize your family’s life.

"As a school founder and career educator, my life is dedicated to developing our youth based on the world we live in, as opposed to the world we lived in. Homeschooling provides an unrivaled opportunity to develop a growth mindset for our kids, and The 5-Hour School Week is a great example of that very reality. Aaron and Kaleena have put together a must-read manifesto for any family, whether you homeschool now or are thinking of it for the future."
