School advice needed!

14 years ago

We are moving to Singapore in August, with a 10 year old girl and a 12 year old boy (from the UK).

Ideally, we would like to send them to Tanglin in order to stick with the UK curriculum and make our move homein 2 years time as easy as possible - but our son is mildly dyslexic and they are being sticky about accepting him - it may or may not work out.

So we need to consider alternatives.

It seems our options are:

- OFS (have been put off by reviews about size of school, state of facilities etc) but they have offered us a place.....

- St Josephs (how academic are the entrance exams? Should I be concerned about them and whether our son will get in? Also seems very biased towards native Sinaporeans - this could well be a very good thing, but would welcome comments)

- EMAAR (ditto comments above)

- Chatsworth (was put off by lack of facilities and very small campus)

- Dover Court for our daughter

Does anyone have any advice or experience about putting a mildly dyslexic child into any of these schools? Any stories or help HUGELY appreciated - this is putting me into a total flat spin....
