International School Students living abroad are TCKs

A TCK (Third Culture Kid) is an individual who spent their developmental years outside their parents' passport country due to their parent's occupation or service, including roles in the military, missionary work, foreign service, NGOs, and related fields. If this description applies to the experiences of your children, we invite you to keep your children in mind whenever you encounter this term.

Leadership

Parent

— 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.
