Let’s be honest, learning can be tricky when you’re in the house most of the time. Kids are home, and with schools going virtual parents are stepping up and taking over for teachers to make sure their kids don’t fall behind. But that doesn’t mean at-home learning should be difficult. In fact, it can get exciting if you branch out and explore all of the virtual learning experiences there are to offer. Here’s our list of virtual learning resources for the whole family.
Interactive, virtual tours can transport you back in time. From this tour of Ancient Rome, complete with trivia quizzes and a question-and-answer session to this virtual experience that explores Ancient Athens and even a WWII tour of Berlin, there’s always a way to make history more fun at home.
Kids may not realize it, but art offers something for everyone. Whether they’re into fashion, street art, music, or photography, look no further. They can explore Parisian fashion trends with a Paris local, or learn the basics of Spanish Guitar with a class live from Barcelona. They can even tour Brooklyn’s most popular street art or “visit” Rome’s Borghese Gallery with an art historian. A world-class art history experience right from your living room.
Help your kids learn about different cultures from those who know them best—locals.

Language just might be one of the most difficult subjects for parents and children alike.
