Hi
We are contemplating a move to the UAE. This would be our kids third expat posting, starting with the UAE many years ago when they were young and schooling seemed much simpler!
We turned down an incredible promotion for DH and package in one of our favorite countries a year ago, choosing stability for our daghter's final few years of high school instead. However, due to changes with both our jobs at home, we find ourselves contemplating overseas again.
Our [b'>only[/b'> concern is DD's final years of high school ... Out of three international schools, one was great, one okay and another a disaster. So it makes us pragmatic.
My questions are:
Has anybody moved an Australian teen to IB for the final two years (she had been on Aussie curriculum at home for past two years, British before that). How different is it? Was it successful or something you regret?
Secondly, can anybody share opinions on Nord Anglia + JESS Arabian ranches, and/ or green community school? Any thoughts at all for one or all of them?
With only two years left of school the temptation is to stay put but there has been regrets over saying no to the last opportunity. Every move had its nerves but worked out as such rich experiences - the only hesitation gong again is her age and stage of schooling. However I've heard plenty f success stories with older kids over the years (and a few not so great).
Would love thoughts from mums of older teens in Dubai about lifestyle, schooling and opportunities for older kids too.
Thank you in advance!
