What are the schools in UK like?
When we asked about the schools in UK, they said...
"This school is undergoing transition with a new administration They are experiencing growing pains, especially in the high school. If you intend your child to graduate high school within the next two years, I would look elsewhere," commented one expat when asked about ACS Hillingdon International School in Hillingdon.
"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," remarked one expat living in Thorpe with children attending The American School In England.
