What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?
My children attended an international school before so there was not really a transition problem. I am not aware of any programs for repatriation which doesn't mean that there aren't any but I have never checked.

Munich is rather right on housing, if you want to avoid that your child becomes a long-distance commuter check very early for housing.
