When TCKs Feel Safe at School

The Impact of Educational Environments Abroad

Our research report on TCKs and Educational Environments is COMING SOON!

This is the third research report unpacking data from our 2024 survey of 1,643 Adult TCKs from 92 passport countries and a range of backgrounds!

Our Preliminary Findings shared data on strengths, struggles, mental health, and opinions on what it was like to grow up abroad. In September 2025 we released groundbreaking research on Protective Factors that Improve TCKs' Long-Term Wellness.

In this research report we share new data on what expat kids experience at school and how it affects them long term.
We've heard you! You love our research, but these reports contain a lot of information, which can be overwhelming to work through.
 
This report will be released in stages over three months, so you can take your time with it before the workshop and Live Q&A.

Access the Research

We believe in making detailed data available to the general public, which is why we create a Deep Dive research report. 

We provide charts showing how each factor is experienced by different demographics: gender, age, nationality, school type, parents' work, and more.
We want Parents, Caregivers, and Educators to be equipped with as many resources to help them promote thriving for TCKs as possible. 

This is why we also offer a PDF summary
of a summary of the research findings for FREE.

Watch the Workshop & Ask Your Questions!

We know that even when you value research, reading through data
is not everyones's strong suit. That's why we also offer the related 
research workshop - When TCKs Feel Safe At School. 

Includes LIVE Q&A with Tanya Crossman,
our Director of Research!
