OK three quick questions:
1. British going into IB or Purely IB from the start: which is better?
2. Kindly suggest excellent IB schools based on your experience/knowledge (be it IB or British-IB)
3. My daughter is 31.12.12 born... Can I request KHDA for allowing her in year one in '17-18.

Thanks ahead!

In my opinion going IB from the start is easier on the students as they are very different styles of learning. Also, few schools offer IB from primary years which is known as PYP. I believe Dubai International Academy, the new Swiss International School and Gems World Academy offer PYP. I am sure a few others might. DIA is much less expensive, GWA is known for accepting more kids that aren't accepted elsewhere and Swiss is so new it is hard to tell but also one of the most expensive. My advice with such a young child is to let them enjoy themselves for the first few years and don't hyper-focus on curriculum or grades. Just my opinion.
