Did you ever wonder about the intricacies of cross-cultural families, reasons for immigration, and family history? It’s so interesting…and complex.

Hi, I’m Kelly – founder and editor of International Teaching Families, official “trailing spouse,” and mum of three. I grew up in Australia and caught the travel bug early after moving to the UK in my 20s. That’s where I met my husband (a fellow Aussie and travel enthusiast), before we returned home to get married, buy a house, and have a few kids... But we quickly realised the traditional path wasn’t for us.

It has been a long 12 months for the majority of parents across the country. With schools being closed for many towns and cities, many parents have either been forced or made the choice to homeschool their kids in order to keep them as safe as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you’re moving abroad for work, or any other reason, there are plenty of logistics to think about. One of those is where to send your children to school. 

When you’re an expat, you have two primary choices as far as your children’s education. You can send your kids to a local school or an international school. 

Today’s rapidly progressing world of science and technology has made traditional education methods a bit outdated. There is always a new educational app being introduced in the market that can do marvels in childhood education. With the proliferation of educational apps, parents have started giving smartphones to their children. The primary reason behind providing your kid with an electronic gadget is to keep him/her on par with other children’s learning capabilities.
