Abu Dhabi Schooling

I know the issue of schooling in UAE has been raised before, and Internet Search Engines point you in basically the right way, BUT, has anyone got any recent experience with English Speaking schools (Early Primary - Yr 2-3 & Early High School - Yr 7-8) in Abu Dhabi.

Can anyone outline the cost & perceived availability. The only one I can so far determine is the US school apparently sponsored by the State Dept. Am interested in US and UK curricular.

Furthermore, how is the housing 'standard'. Also further advice on current conditions in Abu Dhabi. Any relevant links or pm would assist.

Have experienced in lifestyle in Kuwait, Qatar, Cyprus (& Iraq!), so basically aware of good and bad - or extreme!!

Any info is on all aspects of family life there is appreciated. Also cost of living compared to UK - including basics, such as 'reliable car' purchase.

Job there soon - - possibly.... Yet to fully ascertain company allowances to support family......

Thanks in advance.
