Hi,

I can't figure out major differences between IB and UK programme. As I read about the curriculums they all seem ok.
We hope to rent in UAQ and I've read that both schools pick up kids from there.
How does one decide? Both have waiting lists and similar fees. Do a lot of expats send their kids there?
If we don't get in there, what would be our option in UAQ and, if it's not to much to ask, to have a relatively good school..

My son goes to Ajman academy, the majority of students are locals, I'm happy with the school, I'm an arab expat, Arab expats are minority there but it is not an issue for us, I think around 25-30% of the students are westerners. I love their interaction with parents, the school is new, this is it's second year. My son is only 4, he is highly sensitive. it took him a while to fit in, but his teachers & head of department were very understanding & helpful. He was very shy at 1st & we really struggled since he was tiny with socialisation, but since he went to school he is a different kid, he has confidence & now he is very social. We werent looking for academics when we visited schools, we wanted a school that understands my kid's temperaments & I guess we made the right choice.

Our child has been at Sharjah English School for four years and we are very pleased with it. The atmosphere is very caring, the children are well behaved and they seem happy.
