Hoping I can get some advice. Myself and husband have lived overseas for 15 years, mainly in Africa, but also Asia, eastern Europe and NYC. We are currently in the Middle East and now have a son who will turn 3 in September.
He is currently at nursery school and will stay there until we leave here in around one year, most likely. We don't know where yet but a capital city most likely in Africa. We are English and French speaking. We are likely to continue moving every three years or so.
These are the questions I'm starting to think about:
I'm looking at schools that would be in one of four school systems (British, American, French and IB) is that correct?
Once in a school system how important is it that they remain in the same system? What are the factors? How does one judge syllabus against implementation? Is the need to remain in a system less relevant for little ones or should consistency be sought from the beginning?
Also if I'm missing the point, please let me know!
With thanks.
