There is a strong possibility my husband will be relocated to New York (financial district) with his job. We live in London and have a 3 month old and a 3.5 year old who is due to start reception at a local prep-school in Sept of this year. I am a lawyer, but currently on maternity leave. I am prepared not to work when in NYC. I am all for a move like this for a couple of years. However, the school situation is worrying me. The place we have at our local prep school was very hard to get (about 8 applications for each place). I understand the US school system but I would love to hear from anyone who has found themselves in this situation. Ideally I would like our son to stay in the British or International system - there are British/International schools in New York. Would I need to keep paying the school fees here in London to hold the school place? Presumably yes, but that's a discussion to have with the school. Has anyone any experience of how hard it is to get a place in the British school in NYC, on (say) 6 months' notice? Any advice on areas to live? We will be getting a relocation service so that will help.
Thank you!!
