115: Solutions for Educating Your Children Abroad – Michael Strong
The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup
How Did You Develop a Passion for Education?
Mst, alternative ed tends to be a little bit hippy and soft. Many people think of intellectual rigor as near the elit prap school. But i would say i've developed a very student centred, socratic pedagogy that is intellectually demanding but also focused on developing the strength of the child.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
- Public education in Michael's opinion is abusive and fraudulent, listen to a better alternative
- Statistically, 75% of high school students are unhappy and only 45% are actively engaged in learning
- The increase in suicide rates in teens are shocking, why is this happening?
- We examine the rise in substance abuse in government-run schools and how to protect your child from it
- Why communication and compassion will always be necessary and how to foster them in your child's education
- Mikkel and Michael go into what careers require higher education to be successful and what careers don't
- How to prepare your child for the real world and set them up for success
- How Michael's school rewards Emotional Intelligence in kids
- What does a school day and week look like at Expanse Online?
- Some have referred to this program as 'Homeschooling by professionals'
- And so much more...

Fiat is failing. Banks are cracking. And smart investors are moving their gold offshore—outside the system.

The entire account opening is done online—fast, private, and no nonsense. If you’re serious about protecting your wealth, get the details now at ExpatMoney.com/gold
Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach
This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
