Will my child miss out on the social aspect of school?
In the overseas setting, it is very rare for families to be completely isolated and often you will find yourself living within the local community. There should, therefore, be occasions for your child to socialise. It may also be possible for your child to attend a local school, using Home School to supplement areas of the curriculum as necessary.

Rather than being seen as a cause for concern, the benefits of experiencing another culture afford your child positive social opportunities to which he or she would otherwise not be exposed.

In the UK setting, where Home Schooling is becoming more popular, you may well find other families with whom you can meet. There may also be a number of after school clubs or weekend and holiday activity groups that your child can join.
