Hi all, I am new to this forum. I am considering moving to Fujairah with my kids aged 9 and 6. I have an offer from an American international school where 20% children and 55% teachers are foreigners. My worry is they teach Arabic, Islamic studies and social studies in Arabic. If you have children, how did they cope with this? Did they have any cultural shock or problems with communicating with local kids? My older child is preparing for 11 plus exam. Some people have said that the standard in UAE schools is much lower than the UK schools. I don't want to make a wrong decision that may affect my children's education. Please share your experiences. Thank you.
