Abstract
Study in host country national school offers missionary kids significant linguistic and cultural benefits. However, there may be opportunity costs in first-language development and adjustment to the home culture. This research investigates how study in a second-language, K-12, host country national school relates to university-level academic success in the first language using SAT scores, college GPA, honors in college, and plans for graduate study as proxy indicators. These data do not evidence an academic disadvantage for the national school-experienced subjects in comparison to other internationally experienced missionary kids or in comparison to the general population of college students.
