develop supplemental American schools for moderate sized expatriate communities in non-English speaking countries.

Expatriate children growing up in non-English speaking countries suffer not only from lack of English language exposure, but also issues of cultural identity. These Americans often struggle to fit in with their host countries and may also struggle in their native country upon repatriation. Supplemental schools, like the ones that Japanese have in the U.S., will promote an American identity in expatriate children while developing academic skills in line with the American education system. This will promote a smoother transition back into the U.S. and thus further success of our children. It is recommended that the focus be on moderate sized expatriate communities where resources would otherwise be too limited to do this for themselves.
