Hello,

My husband has been offered a job with his firm in Shanghai. We have two children, 2and 4, and I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me what to expect if we decide to move there. In particular, I hoped to learn about nursery and elementary schools(our 4 year old is almost 5 and would start school while we are there). Also, are there groups for women? I would definitely need to find some social groups!

Thanks for your help!

Sarah

There are a number of International schools here in Shanghai and they all have nursery and kindergarten classes. There are American, British, French, German and International curriculums. There are quite a number of Asian children where English is not a first language and Mandarin is compulsory in some schools.
As far as the women's clubs are concerned I can send you a listing if you need. The clubs hold many events and I would say the Shanghai Expatriate Association is the largest and most active. Most groups have coffee mornigns and lunches as well as planned events.
My email is shanghaiproperties@email.com
