Military Child Education Coalition

MCEC supports all military-connected children by educating, advocating, and collaborating to resolve education challenges associated with the military lifestyle.

We help children growing up in military families by providing them, their parents, and professionals with programs, resources, and guidance—helping the child stay on course academically, socially, and emotionally.

As a professional coalition with a diverse community, we serve:

• Military families
• Public school districts and private schools
• Colleges and universities
• Small businesses, corporations, and organizations
• Military commands and installations
• Compassionate individuals

Our team works with public school districts and private schools to help military families overcome the many academic and social challenges of moving, which can include making sure:

• The student can be enrolled in the desired school.
• The school is flexible with how the credits transfer.
• The school implements the Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission for extra-curricular activities.
• The student maintains a consistent learning pace from state to state.
• The differences in curriculum do not lead to delays in graduation.
• The student can be accepted in special programs (ie. gift or talented).
• The school accepts transfer of Individualized Education Programs (IEP).
• The student has help needed to navigate the emotional toll of moving.
• The student has specialized counseling and host groups, even if the school does not support them.
• And many more.
