What are the services offered by SAFE?
Meeting the educational needs of expat families serving in Asia is crucial to their well‐being and longevity overseas. In 2001, SAFE was specifically created (as AERC*) to provide critically needed services and support to these families who are using non-traditional educational methods such as homeschooling, national schools, or online schooling. SAFE is a partnership of schools, organizations, and individuals serving in Asia with a board of representatives from the network.
SAFE provides services throughout the year and runs an annual Family Education Conference (FEC) in Asia. Read below for more information on services and click on the link to find out more about FEC.
