At Family Missions Company, we love having Catholic families, large or small, as part of our greater missionary family. Being a Catholic family on mission is a unique call with many gifts and joys, as well as challenges that we hope to help you walk through.
We also recommend reading the book Raising a Healthy Generation of Third Culture Kids by Lauren Wells.
In the mission field, some parents have found that there are benefits to putting their kids into a local school. However, in some places, the school system may not be an environment where the family feels comfortable placing their kids. This discernment depends a lot on each individual child and family. Parents may want to also supplement their child’s learning with other subjects or homeschool programs.
