Hi,

Today we have been confirmed that my husband can start at ethiad as from October so things are getting real now. Excited !!
I have 2 main concerns : where do I find a trustable partner that can ship my dog and cat from Brussels to AD, so I know they are in good hands? and we have 3 children (twins of 11 and 1 that will be 14 next month) and were thinking to check with Raha Intl school because we want them to follow the international Baccalaureat curriculum (fits the best with Belgian system). Does any one has experience with that school? do you have any experiences you would like to share or advise you can give me.
thank you

Hi Laniei that is a good price I was nearly 6000 including the airport custom fees here.Double check to make sure what is included that might only be their fees as I was quoted nearly 12000 AED from them.Ask for a breakdown what's included.

buckduck, yes we are looking at Raha or British international school which is further off. My hubbie will start end Ocober and will then look at the different neighborhoods. Raha Gardens and beach is within the priority list :-). do you know of any Belgians there?

Hi Mesha, thank for your advice. On a blog they recommended American Pet hospitals and they already send me quote : 3700AED to send over the dog and cat. Would this be a fair price?

Hi Mesha, Our 9 yo started at Raha this September. First impression is good. Teaching staff appear to be good. A very international school with clusters of French, German, Spanish, South American.... And maybe some Belgians too! We are EY too, so maybe if you are looking at this school, check out real estate at Raha Gardens and Raha Beach. 5 mins from school, 5 mins from EY base and 5 mins to Yas Island.
