Hello all,
Moving to Vienna this summer. This will be our third move in 18 months. Younger daughter will be in Y5 at the Lycée.
Older daughter will be Y10. She had very traumatic experiences in the French system, so pretty much refuses the Lycée option, though it's the cheapest of the international schools. Can't afford the English-speaking international schools could scrape by for tuition and capital fee but not for lunches, bus and trips. She has had three years of German, though she probably still can't say much, really (school German, you know). Also two years of Latin. I'm in touch with some local gymnasium, but they concur that for their 5.klasse she just does not have enough German even for the VBS.
Does anyone have experience with this? I keep thinking we'll end up homes educating (have done so two different years) but I'm very worried about the social aspect of it (again, we've done it...last time it was in the UK and it was really hard on her, even though at school she often gets teased and bullied). Argh. Don't know what to do. Any advice? Any other teen home educators in Vienna?
