Learner Spotlight: Legend and Maverick Maltin
iLEAD learners Legend and Maverick Maltin are two adventurous learners. independent studying has allowed them the gift of learning through hands-on, interactive experiences. They gain valuable insight from new places and the people they meet when they travel.
In the past couple of years, Legend and Maverick have traveled to Cambodia, Thailand, Australia, Portugal, France, Italy, and Greece. Currently, the Maltin family is training for an Everest Base Camp hike. They love the transcendent beauty of nature and the Himalayan Mountains.
As Maverick puts it, “The sky is an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what’s happening up there,” while Legend does his best to “live in the moment.”
Outside of independent study, the boys enjoy all manner of things including boating, fishing, scuba diving, rock climbing, surfing, hiking, and listening to audiobooks and podcasts. However, their favorite pastime is spending time with their family and learning all about people and cultures around the world.
