Homeschooled Maverick Valle earns $30k by studying on a boat.

Meet Maverick Valle, an 18-year-old who has just completed his final year of study. Unlike most students his age, Maverick was not attending a traditional school. He is one of the many students in Australia who are part of the growing trend of homeschooling.

Maverick has the freedom to learn wherever he chooses, whether it's aboard his family's boat or in between shifts at his part-time job. Along with his father Brent, Maverick turned to homeschooling when they started working together. He found that spending six hours a day at school was wasting his time and he wanted to be able to work and do some schooling on the side. Maverick and his father explored their options and eventually decided on Euka, the largest online full-time education provider in the country for kindergarten to Year 12 students.

According to Euka's chief executive Brett Campbell, homeschooling offers children the ability to learn at their own pace and cater to their individual learning styles and needs. This was something that Maverick and his father found to be rewarding and beneficial for his education. Maverick has been out of regular schooling since Year 10 and has already gained two years of experience working in sales and marketing for his father's tech company. He earns about $30,000 a year, proving that homeschooling does not hinder one's ability to gain experience and earn an income.

The number of Aussie kids enrolled in homeschooling has more than doubled since 2019, with a significant increase in registrations in Victoria over the past 12 months. Research has shown that the majority of parents who choose homeschooling do so because of social issues such as bullying. With the growing ability for families to travel and work remotely, it is expected that homeschooling enrolments will continue to increase.

Maverick's story is just one example of how homeschooling can provide a flexible and personalized education for students. It allows them to learn in a way that suits them best and also gives them the opportunity to gain real-world experience alongside their studies. As the trend of homeschooling continues to grow, it is clear that it is becoming a popular and viable option for families across the country.
