Schools for missionaries' children are often used and staffed by several agencies. In Senegal, WEC has its own school, but elsewhere they work in partnership with other agencies. 

It usually takes new workers several years to learn the local language and culture. Frequently, married workers become most effective in cross-cultural ministry at the same time as their children reach school age; so schools for missionaries’ kids (MKs) play a critical part in enabling them to stay active in ministry overseas.

Teachers, dorm parents, office workers and general school helpers make a significant contribution to the task of reaching people and planting churches, and also have a vital input into the lives of the students.
