Shepherd’s Rest

We are not a Worldschool Hub; We are a full time Worldschooling Community…

We are not a ‘school’ and there is no curriculum here.

We are not teachers and there are none on site. (Well, not always true, as many parents who visit have all sorts of skills & teaching experiences!).

This is a place where families stay to connect and take a break from travelling, or to escape from a fast-paced life. We provide accommodation, you become part of the community.

This is a nurturing environment that supports growth in confidence. Everyone that stays here has their own method of raising & teaching their children, and we respect that.

This is a place for connecting with your children and other families. We provide communal spaces for both work and play. These areas are free to use for parents and children. There’s also a private furnished office in the village for focused work when you need privacy.

There are opportunities in the local community that we can take part in, or recommend to you. We have a WhatsApp group for all families here to communicate, ask questions, and share recommendations of places to visit.

Oria is a friendly village, which provides opportunities to practice your Spanish. Check out the weekly market, the tapas bars, or a chat with a local family at one of the children’s parks.

We join together on Sunday afternoons for a communal meal, where everyone brings one dish of food to share. This gives an option for socialising and meeting new families that have arrived during the week.

We have created a home away from home atmosphere. All spaces and resources are to be respected and kept tidy, as everything here is for present and future families.
