Do you have bright kids at home?
Are you thinking about homeschooling a gifted kid?
Would you like to homeschool and travel?

Welcome to "Bright Kids at Home" a place for families who are looking for ideas about homeschooling gifted kids.

"Finally, a practical website geared towards
homeschooling and traveling
with gifted and talented students."

Homeschooling is exciting and challenging at the same time. Homeschooling a gifted kid is an even more exciting and challenging proposition! We are eclectic homeshoolers who have almost a decade of experience. We are homeschooling for academic reasons and while other places on the Internet may say they have information about homeschooling a gifted student, I share what we are actually doing at home for my highly gifted student.

Over the years I have discovered a lot of things sharing my every day with a gifted kid and this website has become a journal of what we have learned as a mentor, as a gifted student, as a gifted kid, as a gifted teen, as travelers, as homeschoolers.

On these pages you will find our stories about how we've traveled the education road at home. I share the ideas and resources that worked for my gifted student. I share the real world traveling that has become part of our homeschooling. Here, you will also find what I have learned and what I am continuing to learn about homeschooling a gifted teen. You'll meet Daphne the Science Guinea Pig! We love Math & Science!

I share our ideas and experiences online so that your homeschool journey can be great too! Maybe you will find ideas about how you might homeschool your gifted student here. Maybe you will take away ideas about how to take your homeschool on the road. Stay a while and look around! We hope you find something here that may be of use to you. If you have questions or comments you can contact us.

Tania Aebi's Shangri-La

Zac Sunderland Circumnavigates the Globe
16 year old Zac Sunderland, a homeschooled student, has been preparing himself physically and mentally for singlehanding a 36 ft sailboat around the world.

Youngest Person to Cycle the Pan-American Highway
Davy and Daryl Vogel, ten-year-old twin brothers from Boise, Idaho, will pedal away from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in June 2008 with their parents and pet dog, Dash. Approximately thirty months later, they plan to arrive at the southern tip of South America, where the brothers will become the new Guinness World Record Holders as “Youngest Person to Cycle the Pan-American Highway”.
Field Trip Across America
Welcome to our home. We live in a 2005 Holiday Rambler Ambassador 40 PLQ that we modified to include bunk beds. It has 4 roomy slides, a powerful diesel engine and a big basement with lots of storage room. It works beautifully for us. This is the type of rig that people who full time with kids are often looking for.
