We understand the need for children to feel secure and better informed about their role as Third Culture Kids (TCK).
Unspoken questions and concerns about their future life find creative outlet and gentle reassurance as our TCK programs enable them to explore and express their feelings. Each course is age-appropriate and includes Bible study, games, crafts from other cultures, art, music, food, and plenty of discussion about what life will be like as a TCK. All of our TCK course align and match with the adult classes. Exploring Culture is 4 weeks, Sounds of Language is 2 weeks and the Debrief Retreat is 1 week.
