How much supervised and unsupervised time is there on an average trip?
As mentioned in the About Unschool Adventures page, we believe that giving students large degrees of both freedom and responsibility–in line with the unschooling ethic–is a very important part of our trips. While a majority of trip time is spent in the presence of the trip leaders, students often enjoy chunks of time (up to 8 hours) without staff supervision. This might be an unstructured afternoon, or a free day in a city, or a period of student-designed travel. These periods are vital for building the independence and self-knowledge that accompanies international travel, as well as for solitude or relaxation purposes. Students may expect at least two hours of unsupervised time each day.
