[quote=Anonymous]Our DS is currently in a great private, finishing up middle school and a path to high school. But we also have an opportunity to go work in Europe, London or Germany, are most likely.

We wouldn't consider a transfer to another American city because he's doing so well in school and really thriving. But it's always been a dream to live overseas, he loves the idea of living overseas, my cousins grew switching between privates in the US and international schools overseas (but did their HS in the US) and were very happy (30 years ago)... I would have preferred to do this when he was in elementary school, but I'm curious if anyone has experience with educating their kids abroad...

I know they have great school systems there and I know kids who, for lower grades, did attend some very good British schools, but I also know they have a different system and if we're not aiming to send him to university over there (which I dunno, maybe we could), is he going to get a good education at an international school and/or have an easy transition back to college in the US?

Basically, any one have experiences with this?[/quote]
