Education planning for expats
When you add up all the costs to send your children to school and university, you're looking at tens of thousands of pounds - or hundreds of thousands if your children go to a school like Eton or a university like Harvard.
For expat families, the cost of a good education can be even higher. So you can see why it's important to start planning early - to make sure you can afford to give your children the best start in life.
Raising Children Abroad
For expat parents, ensuring their child has good quality childcare and education is understandably important. It also has huge financial implications. Our Expat Explorer survey asks expats to rate the quality and cost of childcare in the country they've moved to - their responses varied quite considerably across the world.

Should you choose an international or local school?
Many expats send their children to international schools because the education system they use is universally recognised. But in some countries, such as Australia, Canada and the US, most expat children attend local schools. Our Expat Explorer Survey reveals the choices made by parents around the world.
