No special programs to prepare for repatriation. We were lloking for an accredited school with an IB cursus at walking distance offering languages. This is what we found at the time.

No PTA though there is a prents association. Once a year a "global picnic" is organized and once a term there are some coffees mornings.

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

If you are looking for a strong English cursus, go to another school. If your child is shy or a bit unsecure, go to another school: at lunch time there are all the primary students ( gr 1 to gr 5. roughly 10 classes for each..20 kids per class- It is noisy and crowded) plus the middle school or high school students who have PE on the same space...
