Living Abroad is Good for Kids

Do children benefit from living overseas? Most British expats seem to think so. A new survey just out from the British bank NatWest and the Centre for Future Studies says 67% of British expats believed their children had received better education abroad and a resounding 93% thought expat life had benefitted their children. Our family's personal experience would echo this. My son had just turned 9 when we first went overseas and he was educated in 5 different schools, in 4 different countries (including our home, Canada). To be fair, the overseas schools he attended were all private, very expensive and full of middle class children, so I have no doubt those factors had the most impact on the quality of his education, rather than the fact that they were overseas. However the experience of living overseas, that is the education he got outside of school, was priceless and will no doubt affect him for the rest of his life.
