I think this would be a great life experience for your daughters, but just realize that you will probably be putting them at a disadvantage in Computer, Math, and Science courses. Your daughters are going to become angry with you down the road if they believe that you pulling them out of high school was what set them up for failure in university.
My advice is to do multiple summer family trips of a similar nature and once your daughters are in college, do a trip like this with the wife.

If they are about to go to college then they can go to college and then join you in vacation time. There are not many subjects that demand that you are in a single place to undertake the course but the sciences are about the only ones I can think of for their practical parts.
The opportunities that the travelling will give them to see the world are something that they will, in all probability, thank you for in years to come.
