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

There is a PTA, which mainly organizes social activities. There are parent members on the school councils, though these bodies are dysfunctional and widely ignored by the current administration, at least in secondary. Parents are, for most purposes, de facto disenfranchised by a secondary administration that imposes tuition increases, major curriculum changes and extra costs ugh no meaningful parental input and despite parent opposition.

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

Seriously consider all other alternatives. Send you kids to the American School if you can afford it.
