How would you describe this school? (i.e. American, British, International, Local, etc.)
It was British, but I think that it is more local now.

Kindergarten, Prep and High School
How do most children get to school everyday?
Most children get there by car and a few go by taxi's.
How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
The facilities at the school are very good. The extra-curricular activities are also good -- they have something for everyone.
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 three children hadn't started school in the UK so Belair was their first school. The school has Kindergarten, Prep and High school -- so you don't need to worry about changing schools. There are quite a lot of children there from the UK, US, China, Burmuda and other countries, some are expats and some are here for work. In high school, a lot of the students are boarding, because their parents find it a very good school.
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
There are activities available for parents. There are regular P.T.A. meetings for parents. There are parent conferences after every term, but the teachers always have a good relationship with the parents and will always see you.
