Nothing, my child was in an American school. The counselor met with my children.
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
They have a Parent Teacher Organization who organize events such as the PTO auction and the International day.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
It's a new school, give it a couple of years to get good teachers who don't overload with work. I can see the change in my children, they don't have time for anything, and that's not a good thing. The school is not organized yet, but maybe in a couple of years, it will be. Many of teachers are not so good either, they give notes and homework without explaining well, and my children who are in the highschool are struggling. Be careful.
