We Are Worldschoolers

What We Are Worldschoolers does

We Are Worldschoolers is a bootstrapped, founder-led subscription membership community serving families interested in combining world travel with alternative education (worldschooling). Co-founded in late 2018 by Lainie Liberti and her son Miró Siegel — who themselves have lived location-independently since 2009 — the company operates as a remote, distributed organization with approximately nine people: eight paid expert writers who are themselves worldschooling parents, plus a Community Manager. Its commercial product, the Worldschoolers Passport, is a monthly subscription priced at $42.97 USD (with an introductory founding-member rate of $3.99 USD) that unlocks a curated content library of expert interviews, mini-courses, Masterclasses, weekly women's circles, business accountability calls, monthly expert Q&As, a member marketplace, and an archive of 32+ videos from the Project World School Family Summits.

The underlying platform is a WordPress-based membership site integrated with a private Facebook community, email marketing via CKPage, and payment processing for recurring subscriptions. The technology stack is conventional content/community tooling with no proprietary AI, data, or platform IP; differentiation is concentrated in the community itself and the content authored by worldschooling parents. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, global, and community-led: a free public Facebook group (50,000+ members, grown organically from ~200 members in 2012), a blog, a newsletter, Instagram, and an extensive library of free SEO-oriented resources (international school directory, finance guide, apps, communities directory) funnel prospects into the paid Passport. The organization is self-funded by subscription revenue and founder capital, with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or M&A activity.

The company monetizes a single recurring revenue stream — the Passport subscription — supplemented by in-person Family Summits held roughly twice per year across Mexico, Europe, and Asia. The customer base is composed entirely of individual consumers and micro-households (individual parents and solo worldschooling families), with no enterprise or institutional customers identified. The business is therefore a long-tail, consumer-paid subscription model whose key growth levers are community virality, free-resource-led organic acquisition, and event-driven engagement.
