How are pilots deciding where to enroll their kids in the UAE or Qatar?
Coming from the US for example, do you have to enroll in American school?
Would a British or other international curriculum suffice?:ok::=
Just curious on how pilots with kids make the decision to pick an adequate school for their love ones. It seems like some facilities are more expensive than others.:{

You don't "have" to enroll in any particular ciriculum, and I know Canadian and American families with Kids in the British system.

There is s a Website named Expatwoman (note singular), kind of PPRUNE for Ex-pat wives (and at times ALMOST as bitchy!) which is a good resource.

There are some excellent British schools in Dubai (and some average ones as well) and the non-profit, Govenor run ones (DESS, Jess and DC come to mind) do a great job at a good price.
