What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?

The teachers treat the children as individuals. The small class sizes enables them can get to know the children and their individual needs very well. My son is still in Grade 3 and we will be here for a few years yet so I don't really know about repatriation but I feel he is learning very useful skills and will be able to adapt to the National Curriculum when we go home.

How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?

There is a PTA but I have to admit I haven't been as active as I should have been. They organise a few events through the year including a costume ball.

Meet the teachers and the Admisistration personally and live close to the school.
