Get online tutoring
A third (and final) choice is to obtain online tutoring for your child. This is kind of like homeschooling in the sense that your child will learn from home. It can be just as flexible, the key difference is you won’t be teaching them. Therefore, it’s mainly an option for busy families. If neither parent has the time to homeschool – and if international schools aren’t viable options – online tutoring is the best solution.Â
It also works as a good option if you’re not going to be in the country for long. E.g. you have to move overseas for contracted work that takes 6-12 months. Enrolling your child in an international school doesn’t make logistical sense, but you can’t let them take a few months away from education. Online tutors are readily available to fill in the gap here.Â
We’re not in the position to say which of these options is the best way to educate your kids. That’s up to you; look at the benefits and drawbacks of all three possibilities to conclude which one makes the most sense in your situation. Regardless, they all ensure your child gets a good education while living abroad.
