Hello everyone I have a 4 years old boy he is currently in BC FS1 and he was on the waiting list for FS2 in BSAK since last year and finally got accepted When I applied for BSAK and BC I didn't have a place anywhere else we were in Dubai at the time, but now since he is in BC I am not sure what is the right decision Any feedback or is there anyone who has an experience with BSAK to give me an idea please of their experience or the school reputation The finances is not a qualifying point at the moment since both schools charges almost the same My son is the moving type, curious and he likes to touch and feel things and very intelligent His social skills needs improving though Please advice Many thanks indeed for all of you for reading and reflecting on this HG the school fees for bcad are much more than bsak... this is because bsak is a non profit school, and bcad is a profit school. bsak has been around for a lot longer of course, and for fs2 they now have brand new facilities (obviously bcad is newish). bcad will be more stressful as they will push their kids more as its a selective school, bsak isnt, of course they have to be able to reach certain targets further up the school for gcse and alevels etc. bsak was called a community school in the days of course when there was only cambridge high school around for british curriculum schools etc. you can only be the one to decide if to stick or move.... either would be fine... but when it gets to the upper years there will be more pushing/stress at bcad depends on what your child would be suitable for etc. i would always go with an established brand... bsak been around over 40 years, bcad a few years in auh, of course they have experience of the uk school, but this is auh and its different curriculums etc as they have influence from adec and being a profit/non profit schools too.
