Hello Alexandra! Recently came across your work, love it, thank you! I moved to Germany from the UK to live with my husband as he has land and a farm that’s been in his family for centuries, plus it’s beautiful here in the Allgäu (great for kids)…however didn’t realise it’s illegal to homeschool kids until after I moved and got pregnant. Blows my mind how people A) don’t actually realise that? and B) l if they do, they don’t think it’s an issue?! Madness…anyway, I have 5 years before we MUST enrol in the school system, I can’t imagine it will have changed by then, so we live 15 mins from Austria and Switzerland and I’m trying to find a legal way around it. Do you have any info or pointers to get me started? Greatly appreciated! 💛

Oh yes, there are quite some solutions as you live on the boarder! You can check with West River Academy, they might cover Austria/Switzerland as an umbrella school and you could find an address there in these countries for your kids. Otherwise flag theory, you have the option to let your credit card travel a bit ;) and maybe take a look at staatenlos.de they have a really really cool dude (Chris) that is helping Germany based families with these issues. Let me know if that helps in any way, and if not, I'll ask some more people in my network for ideas ♥️ ♥️
