SEK International Schools

[bedulass]

Does anyone have any feedback on this chain of schools? They're opening a new branch in Qatar and my son has an interview for pre-school next week. I know nothing about them apart from the website.

They seem completely disorganised at present but I'm thinking that might be largely due to the short notice announcement of operning in September.

Also, does anyone know how the academic year works in Spain? Is it calendar year or Sept-Aug (or anything else)? Again, the school weren't clear to me and my son has a September birthday so it matters to the year he'd be going into.

Thanks

hi, I don't know anything about this particular school, just wanted to answer about the entry system in (state) schools in Spain (some private school set different rules). The children start primary school in the calendar year in which they turn 6. Before that they go to preschool, which is not compulsory.
