This book is a comprehensive collection of articles from authors considered to be experts in the field of educating children in a cultural context outside their passport country. Family educational issues are often one of the greatest challenges faced by an expatriate Christian family. In fact one of the first questions asked by most parents preparing for overseas ministry is, "What about the education of my children?" This is certainly a legitimate question as parents face the unknowns of educational choice for their children. You will find answers to that question in the first chapter titled "Foundations" which deal with the family and educational decision-making. It is followed by a plethora of articles on developmental and educational issues related to the challenges faced by families living and working overseas.
