Sound familiar?
These are the exact struggles parents tell us in the quiz - word for word.
If you nodded at any of those, you're in the right place. The problem isn't that good options don't exist - it's that nobody's put them all in one place. Until now.

Hi, I'm Carly
I'm a mama to three boys, currently worldschooling. I built this because I was asking the same questions you are - and I couldn't find one place that laid out every option, honestly, side by side. So I made one.
Good to know
What exactly do I get?
A 300+ page digital directory covering every major alternative education model, 500+ profiled schools worldwide, and a curated resource list - all in a searchable web guide you access from any device.
Can I get a refund?
If the directory isn't what you hoped, email Hello@raisingbeyondschool.com within 14 days and we'll make it right.
How do I access it after buying?
Right after checkout you'll set a password for your account. Then log in anytime to open the living directory.
Is it a one-time payment?
Yes. $29 during the founding window (regularly $99). One payment, lifetime access, including every future update.
Who wrote this?
Carly - a wife and mama to three boys, currently worldschooling and researching on the road. She asks the same questions you do.
