LAY SUMMARY Within Canada, little is known about the educational experiences of military-connected students in the K-12 and higher education systems. American research has been published and provides insight into the unique challenges that military-connected students can experience in such contexts. Because of the lack of research conducted in Canada to date, it is unclear if American research findings represent the educational experiences of Canadian military-connected students in K-12 and higher education. This article discusses how identification of military-connected students, as well as educator awareness or lack thereof, are creating organizational challenges in the Canadian context for supporting military-connected students in K-12 and higher education.
