dave and i are at a conference this week outside chicago that is teaching us how to educate our children overseas. in the states you have just a few options when it comes to education: public, private or home. outside the US, the possibilities are more complex: national, international, boarding, american/missionary, private national, british, french, dutch...most of which cost an incredible amount of money. we have to think about which elementary/secondary school will lead to the best option for high school which will ultimately lead to getting into college, probably back in the states. so what we are trying to figure out is what we want our children's' education plan to be through college...in the next two days. once they start school, we will be constantly reevaluating it (ourselves, many times without a conference with the school) to see if it is a good fit.
our children are too little right now for us to know what kind of learner they are!
many missionary kids (MKs) go to boarding school for high school (which is looking like a great option for our kids). we are now looking at how far away we are willing to let our kids be in order for them to get the education we want them to have!
i'm already feeling sad that the kids will probably be leaving home at 15! this is reality! this is our life!
