Put it to use as you make your way across town or across the country!

Carschooling is all about turning travel time into learning time. Parents today cite their children's eduation as a top priority. Some supplement traditional schooling in public or private schools with after-school activities and curricula. Others homeschool their children to provide optimum learning environments. What all parents have in common is that they spend a lot of time in the car with their kids commuting to classes, field trips, tutoring sessions, libraries, and enrichment programs — not to mention running everyday errands.

All parents complain about wasting time in traffic jams. All kids grumble when there is nothing to do in the car and evoke the universal whine, "Are we there yet?" What if parents could use the time spent in the car to enhance their children's education with fun activities, resources, and games designed to improve skills in math, science, history, reading, grammar, and more?

As a homeschooling parent, I spend a lot of time in the family car with my two sons. I cart them around to science, music, and gymnastics lessons, to libraries, to friends' houses, to homeschool park days for recreation and socialization, and I take them on numerous field trips to distant points of interest. Carschooling was my answer to the problem of wasted time and travel boredom...
