A Third-Culture Kid (TCK, also known as Trans-Culture Kid) is "an individual who, having spent a significant part of the developmental years in a culture other than the parents' culture, develops a sense of relationship to all of the cultures while not having full ownership in any. Elements from each culture are incorporated into the life experience, but the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of similar experience." --David Pollock, Interaction Director

Profiles of national education systems
http://www.ibe.unesco.org/International/Databanks/Wde/profilee.htm
As from 1996, the IBE has undertaken the preparation of profiles of national education systems, using the information included in the reports on the development of education, supplemented with data from other sources. As the preliminary versions of the profiles are sent to the countries concerned in order for their content to be checked—or for additional information or clarifications, depending on the situation—this method emphasizes the co-operative way in which the profiles are established, the IBE assuming the major part of the work in an effort to provide a useful service.
The Internet version of World data on education continues to be updated regularly and now contains the profiles of 158 national education systems (either in English, French or Spanish, depending on the country).

How to Choose a School Abroad
http://www.cobisec.org/choosing2.htm
How to Choose a School Abroad ... advice from COBISEC
In some places there may be only one school, so you have little choice - it's that or boarding in the UK. But more and more you have the choice in many locations. The schools which are reasonably well recognised in the area you are moving to will be known to your company, to the British Embassy or Consulate, or perhaps to the local church or local expatriate organisations. This gives you a start. But also it is as well to speak to your child's current Head and to contact organisations in the UK who deal with schools abroad for example, associations such as COBISEC, ECIS (European Council of International Schools), or organisations such as ISCIS (Independent Schools Council information service) or Gabbitas Educational Consultants.
