[quote=Anonymous]Potentially moving to the greater London area and need advice. We are not government, dod or State Dept. people nor are most of the people in our circle, so very few of our friends have ever moved abroad with kids. The ones who have are in Asia and the school landscape for expats is pretty different there and all of our friends’ kids there have landed in American or Canadian schools.

Where is a good place to go for advice on schools in London? Is there an expat website that is like dcum? Everything I’m finding is more focused on foreign service and dod relocations.

For context:

DD will be in 5th next year so the curriculum is an issue especially since we may be back in HS…or not. We would love to put her in local schools but managing the curriculum mismatch is daunting- it looks like she’ll be a grade behind in some ways and once she’s in middle school things will be completely off and sometimes too far ahead in terms of the math progression. Places like the American School London are probably not a good fit in terms of location or vibe. We won’t have a tuition benefit.[/quote]
