International School students living abroad are TCKs

A TCK (Third Culture Kid) is an individual who spent some/all of their developmental years outside their parents' passport country due to their parent's occupation or service, including roles in the military, foreign service, international business, NGOs, missionary work, and related fields. These children and their families are vital to your community, and we invite you to keep them in mind whenever you encounter this term.
This is a space for the international school community to learn about all that is available to them! Here, we’ll share valuable materials—video courses, curricula, articles, and more—that we've crafted specifically with your needs in mind.
— LIVE TRAINING

Virtual Sessions

An interactive virtual training can be a great, afforadable way to provide contextualized PD for your staff!

Our flexible courses are well suited for group sessions and for individual, self-guided learning.

Foster a supportive parent community as you learn together about cross-cultural family life

TCK Training are experts in preventive care for Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and we are passionate about supporting parents as they raise their families abroad. We also know that students who have their emotional needs met at home do better in the classroom.

— RESEARCH

Did You Know? 

Our research shows that international school students face higher rates of emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse than individuals in single-country studies. The rate of depression/mental illness among adults in their households is more than double that seen elsewhere. 75% of international school TCKs were impacted by at least one potentially traumatic event.

Pay-wall Free Research

Our research into the international childhood experiences are freely available, including our series of white papers based on an original survey of 1,904 Third Culture Kids.
