[quote=Anonymous]I did it. Best thing we ever did. If the HS kid won’t complete HS there, you do need a plan for them to be either in an American curriculum while in the new country or in an IB, which they can then complete when they get back to the states. Your good planning will limit that disruption. OR if you have them in an internationals school that does boarding, your DH can negotiate for their education to be paid through graduation while you guys move back to the states after two years. That probably sounds crazy, but in the International Community, it happens all the time. There are lots of options, and if the company wants him to go, he has leverage to negotiate what he wants. DH and you need to research, try to talk to other expats in Singapore and come up with a game plan. Overall, I will say, you and your kids have to be in on the adventure, or this could blow up for your family, your marriage, and your DH’s assignment. -signed someone who has seen some Expat families be wildly successful, and other expat families who can’t hack it and go back home after 13 months[/quote]
