Welcome to International Teaching Families
Whether you’re a teacher with a family considering international teaching, a spouse of an international teacher, or a current international teaching family, we’re here to help you navigate the big picture. From choosing the right international school for your family, to settling in and building a new life abroad.
Our site is based on real-world experience — created by a parent who has moved multiple times across continents with a teaching partner and kids in tow.
Our blog posts are designed for you to feel more informed, better prepared, and less alone on the expat journey as a family.
