Nontraditional Educational Programs Option

Many places where SIL families go to serve are not near a TCK school. To help families who are homeschooling, we support a variety of ways to meet academic needs. Global TCK Care & Education supports each type of program in a consultative capacity — we provide suggested policy guidelines to entities, consult regarding program development, recommend assessment procedures, and orient new personnel to work in nontraditional educational settings. Below are listed various resources to help you as you consider this option.
