Offered in partnership with PACE, Education Planning for Families in Transition is essential for parents who will be raising their children outside of their passport country. Moving cross-culturally adds layers of nuance to educating your children. You need to know what questions to ask about your child’s education and formulate a well-defined plan for each child.
During this seminar, you will learn and work with your spouse to create education plans for each of your children. You will also work with an education consultant who specializes in helping families plan for the education of their children.
This experience is offered in two formats: online (currently available) and in-person. You will leave with a broader knowledge of the issues you will face when educating your children in another culture and the confidence to do it well.

We recognize that both parents may not play the same day-to-day role in their children’s education. However, we believe both parents need to be informed about the issues related to education and to actively participate in making these decisions. Consequently, we urge both husband and wife to work through the seminar together. Previous participants have found it helpful for both parents to hear the information presented, to discuss their questions with an advisor, and to work together on developing the education plans for their children.
“Thank you for the most valuable, practical, get your money’s worth seminar I’ve attended. You really dealt with the issues that were causing me concern. Although they don’t know it yet, my children will reap the benefits of this seminar for years to come.”"
