Repatriation is the neglected sibling of the living-and-studying-abroad experience. Families, employers, relatives and friends assume that going home is about picking up where you left off prior to moving. However, this way of thinking totally ignores the effects of the passage of time and the impact of change. You and your family have been irrevocably changed by the experience of living abroad. Re-entry stress or reverse culture shock occurs when what is anticipated as known or given is experienced as new and incomprehensible - when expectations don't match reality. Reading this book will:  * Raise your awareness about the issues connected to the process of adjustment and adaptation involved in 'going home.' * Help you to understand how your children have been changed by the experience of living abroad and the impact this has on the educational choices you make on their behalf. * Provide you with tools to help you think through, plan for and live through the transition of repatriation.

This short guide to the educational system in The Netherlands is intended to give you an introduction to what you need to know about the new educational system you are entering, such as the policies and infrastructure that govern local education, the funding mechanisms, and the curriculum. It also offers practical, everyday information on what is helpful to know, such as the informal codes around mealtimes, the structure of the school day, uniforms, and other cultural norms and expectations. There is so much in education that is culturally dependent; it is often these minor differences that can leave you feeling like a stranger in a strange land. We hope these guides will equip you and your children to start school with the confidence and knowledge to make the most of the unique and exciting opportunities offered by relocating.
