What are the schools in UK like?

"Visit if possible; it is a great campus. Ask as many questions of TASIS as you need to - Admissions staff are extremely helpful & supportive. Read the web site and the school's Facebook page to get a feel for the spirit of the school. If you want a school that treats students with respect & as individuals, and helps them fulfill their potential, we highly recommend TASIS. My son is loving TASIS (& he came from a fab school in the US), and we are thrilled for him," explained one expat living in Thorpe, Surrey, UK.

"Of course, a personal visit to the school would be in the best interest of any family. Be up front with any concerns you may have about your child. As with all the private schools we interviewed, TASIS offers virtually no special needs programs for kids beyond mild ADD & Dsylexia. Until the corporations realize that their employees face a tremendous hardship in this area and push for these private schools to add special needs to their curriculum, unfortunately, nothing will change. However, TASIS has been very supportive by providing textbooks, counseling and academic guidance to our family which deals with special needs issues," said one parent with children at The American School In England in Thorpe.
